Connect | Learn | Grow
A new and free opportunity for students entering the workforce, professionals interested in a career change and advocates looking for professional growth.
NOVA will host its first Virtual Career Development Fair for aspiring victim advocates from June 22-24, 2021.
Individuals will have the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about the field of victim advocacy and crisis response, understand the variety of positions and organizations in which advocates serve, and have the opportunity to build connections with other aspiring advocates.
A diverse group of agency partners will provide participants with information about current services and how aspiring advocates and crisis responders might join in such important efforts.
Finally, NOVA Members will have the added benefit of registering for one-on-one resume reviews and professional development discussion with NOVA mentors (spots are limited and will be first come, first serve).
