Trainings and Education

The approach CSVANW takes is informed by one fundamental value:

Work to engage tribal communities and community solutions organically through developing meaningful and authentic partnerships and relationships based on respect.

As part of its mission, CSVANW provides a multitude of training opportunities to its Members and those working within the domestic violence and sexual assault movement in tribal communities. Training workshops focus on building service-provider capacity and community response to violence in tribal communities. CSVANW offers travel scholarships and sponsorship opportunities to CSVANW Members.
