FACILITATING GROUPS
Groups can be powerful tools for providing learning experiences, building social connections, and engaging families more deeply in a program. Our two-day in-person training Facilitating Groups is designed for both newcomers to the field as well as long-time facilitators looking to brush up. Participants will gain knowledge and skills around:
Group dynamics
Facilitator roles
Participant engagement
Research-based facilitation strategies
Logistics and preparation
The Facilitating Groups training also offers valuable insights for facilitators who will be using the What You Do Matters ongoing group series and the Goal$ and Assets ongoing group series.
