The NVAA mission is to provide a 40-hour intensive, interactive learning experience to help develop and promote professional skills and knowledge for victim service providers.
The Academy offers education- and skill-based classroom trainings for those who assist victims and survivors of crime in the United States, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, and any other territory or possession of the United States. While international applicants may apply to attend the Academy, please note that the training is not designed to meet the needs of the specific target populations who live outside of the United States.
Participants are eligible to receive
CEUs for their attendance and completion of Tracks 1, 2, or 3. |
|
Track 1, Foundation-Level Training, is a general training for those who have less than 3 years of experience serving crime victims. The goal of the foundation-level training is to provide entry-level professionals and volunteers with skills, knowledge, and resources to serve victims and survivors of crime more effectively. |
|
Track 2, Professional Skill-Building Institute, is designed to build skills and address several timely topics that confront victim service providers on a daily basis and that have direct impact on service providers’ work with victims. The training is targeted for those who have been in the victim services field for at least 2 years. |
|
Track 3, Leadership Institute, focuses on core knowledge and skills to develop leaders who can generate the direction, alignment, and commitment needed for individuals to work together productively toward common goals. Track 3 is intended for new and emerging leaders as well as those who have been in leadership positions for several years. |
