Attend A Samaritan Training

The Tucson Samaritans offer a monthly workshop helpful to anyone interested in becoming involved with the Green Valley-Sahuarita Samaritans. This training is not required before attending one of our biweekly meetings nor signing up for one of our activities.

The workshop includes the history of Samaritans, a brief border history, and what to expect on a Search. You can join their email list or sign up for Searches. (While there may be some operational differences in how Tucson and Green Valley-Sahuarita Samaritans conduct Searches, the basics are the same.)

​Please call before attending the training. 

First Sunday of Each Month, 1:30 - 5:00 PM
Southside Presbyterian Church
317 W. 23rd Street, Tucson
