The Youth Work Methods Training of Trainers (TOT) prepares participants to lead the Weikart Center's ten Youth Work Methods Workshops that are aligned with the Program Quality Assessment.
The TOT begins with four weeks of distance coursework comparable to a college-level course. Participants should expect to spend 6-8 hours per week on coursework. The TOT culminates in an intensive, in-person, 3-day workshop. The TOT ends with a final wrap-up webinar a week after the in-person portion.
Participants will receive a book with training agendas for all the item-aligned workshops as well as a set of Youth Work Methods guidebooks.
Due to the nature and rigor of the course, experience with the Youth Work Methods as well as training experience is highly recommended.
