Who provides initial training for the GBYS Program Coordinator and Parent Guide positions?
An initial onsite and web-based training is required and provided by Hands & Voices training team (fees apply). This ensures program integrity and standardization across the country. It also facilitates essential relationship building between local programs and national staff. GBYS-related training is also offered annually at the H&V Leadership Conference. Trainings to states will include customized sessions based on the priorities of the state program. After your GBYS staff is trained, subsequent trainings may be accomplished locally (see GBYSOperations Manual for more information) as needed by each program.
