We’re always glad when people are interested in escorting. Because of today’s political/social climate, the increased incidents of violence and disruption from protesters around the country and the increased number of protesters at EMW, we typically do a screening with potential escorts. We are not doing that screening currently because we’re asking new escorts to wait until the next training we offer before they get started. That training has not been scheduled yet. We anticipate that it will be held in August or September.
If you like, we can keep your contact information and let you know when the training date is set, and get started with the screening then. Just let us know.
Please send a request to everysaturdaymorning@gmail.com if you would like to try escorting or if you have additional questions.
We hold formal training sessions throughout the year. Upcoming training sessions will be announced on this blog. We strive to have a training class once every two-three months during the year. We ask new escorts to attend the next training available, though we do not require training prior to getting involved.
If you are considering becoming an escort, please start by reading our Points of Unity. There is a link to them at the top of this blog.
Escorting is an intense emotional experience for some people. We realize it is not for everyone. We encourage you to review the types of antis you will encounter before coming out to join us. There are articles describing these types (Pick an Anti-Part 1 and Pick an Anti-Part 2) and video (A Powerful Project) and an article explaining the CPC next door to the clinic..
New escort orientation includes:
- Observing only for at least two times
- Pairing with an experienced escort mentor and shadowing the mentor for several times.
- Attend the next training class
Please send a request to everysaturdaymorning@gmail.com if you would like to try escorting or if you have additional questions.

I am part of an Outreach/Education Committee and we are trying to develop escort training. Is any of your training available in PDF or video form?
Hi, Susan,
We do have some of it available in PDF format, if you email us at everysaturdaymorning@gmail.com, we can send you some information on what we do
Do you need to sign up or call ahead for these trainings or do you just show up at the appointed time/place?
We encourage people to come down and observe at the clinic the morning of the training and introduce yourself, get an idea of what we are talking about and then come to the training. But by no means do we require it. Otherwise just come on down and we will be glad to meet you.
