The new date for facilitator training is Saturday, August 13th (8 am – 5 pm) at the Des Moines Girl Scout Leadership Center, 10715 Hickman Road.
This opportunity will equip facilitators to lead groups of adult volunteer troop leaders providing them with tools and practice in responding to girls who may be the target, the bystander, or the bully. The facilitators will be provided with curriculum and supplies for a 1 – 2 hour workshop for adults. They will become familiar with typical situations and responses, and become knowledgeable with FAQs and techniques for adults to use.
This training is Step 1 in becoming a certified facilitator for Friendship Power. Step 2, accomplished through another full day of training in 2-3 months, will equip the facilitator to conduct 30 – 90 minute workshops for girls. Step 3 will be offered in early 2012 and will equip the facilitator to conduct full workshops for up to 100 girls lasting up to 3 hours. We need facilitators at each of the three levels so we will be encouraging facilitators to continue to the level they feel they can be most successful at.
