Participants will be responsible for travel expenses to and from the regional Training-of-Trainers site; however, Partners Against Hate will pay for food, lodging, and all training materials. Upon completion of the Training-of-Trainers program, participants will be prepared to deliver the following:
- Faculty in-service workshops for school faculty and staff focusing on the prevention of bias, prejudice, bullying, harassment, and hate crimes in schools.
- Workshops for middle school student peer leaders on preventing hate-related behaviors and hate crimes.
Requirements for Training-of-Trainers Candidates
We are particularly looking for people who have experience working with youth (e.g., educators, counselors, youth service coordinators, parents) and/or are currently work in law enforcement (e.g., police officers, prosecutors, corrections officers, probation officers). Applicants should also have experience conducting training programs or facilitating workshops with adults and/or youth.
Ideally, applicants will complete the training application as a Team, with one Team member representing the law enforcement community and one Team member demonstrating extensive experience working with youth. Individual applications are also invited; however, first preference will be given to those applicants applying as a Team. Those individuals applying alone will, if accepted to the program, be paired with someone with complementary skills and experiences.
Completion of this application does not indicate acceptance into the Partners Against Hate Training-of-Trainers program. A Partners Against Hate staff member will notify all applicants one month in advance of the scheduled Training-of-Trainers program whether or not they have been selected to participate.
Additionally, applicants agree to the following:
- Each Trainer agrees to conduct 4 workshops in the 12-month period immediately following the Training-of-Trainers program. There will be no charge to the audience for these programs.
- Each Trainer's employer must agree to permit him/her to conduct the 4 workshops during the regular workday.
- Each Training Team will take the initiative to schedule and conduct these 4 workshops.
- The next training will be held in Austin, Texas February 10 �� 12, 2003 [editable text]
