(Henderson, NV) ‚Äì The Nevada Department of Veterans Services is hosting a free, two-day training workshop to set you on the path to becoming a Nevada Veterans Advocate (NVA). What do NVA’s do? Simply put, they are volunteers who help connect veterans to earned benefits and resources.  
 
The workshop will help introduce, train, and update those interested in becoming an NVA. Certificates will be provided to those who complete the two-day course.  
 
The workshop will take place over the weekend of April 7th through April 8th at the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino. The sessions run from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. each day.  
 
A complimentary continental breakfast will be provided each day as well as snacks and beverages. Vouchers are available for southern Nevada attendees who will be traveling in excess of 60 miles, but to qualify, you must be pre-approved by contacting McKensie King at 775-321-4708 or kingm@veterans.nv.gov.
