Steps to Hosting a Local Training Seminar:
1) Talk with Community Intervention about your primary concern(s) with youth in your schools and community. Identify what you hope happens as a result of onsite training.
2) Assess the support you can get from school administration, media, parents, hospitals, and others who work with youth to host a local training.
3) Ask for commitment from key people to send participants to the training. Call local schools, hospitals, agencies, law enforcement, and others who work with youth. Ask for a letter of support.
4) Seek out funding resources to pay participant tuition. Consider local business, grants, foundations, and private donations.
5) Identify a possible training facility. Could the space be donated?
6) Consider the options to promote the training. Newsletters, mailing a brochure, PSAs, meetings, e-mail, Web sites, and posters are all possibilities.
7) Identify someone who can help to coordinate the seminar, do the promotion, secure the training facility, take registrations, send confirmation letters, and be the point of contact with Community Intervention.
8) Finally, get consensus from those who would send participants on the dates when the training might take place. Plan far enough in advance so that participants can clear their schedule. Be prepared to give Community Intervention first and second choices for training dates.
