*By Daily Press staff*

Sojourn Services for Battered Women and Their Children will begin their volunteer training on Tuesday. The trainings are held twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and run through June 10\. The training is mandatory for anyone who would like to volunteer. Sojourn has been a sanctuary for women and children since 1977 and works to empower them to regain their dignity and make choices to stop the cycle of violence in families. Upon completion of training, volunteers staff the 24-hour hotline, work in the children’s program, with support groups and administrative assistance. To enroll, call (310) 264-6646, ext. 221.
