Attend CAS Facilitator Training
Chrysalis After-School Facilitator Training will build on lessons learned from the Youth Program Quality Assessment and the 2008-09 program evaluation. We’ll focus on using Positive Discipline in the Classroom to facilitate problem solving, planning, decision making and team building.
Monday, August 10, the training will be held at United Way, 1111 9th Street, Des Moines, and we’ll visit Culture Inc, 3619 6th Ave, Des Moines, in the afternoon.
On Wednesday, August 12, we will meet at Southeast Polk Junior High School.
The Chrysalis Foundation requires each middle school girls’ group that receives funding to send at least one representative to this training. Staff from partner agencies, elementary school programs and unfunded sites are also welcome!
There is no fee to attend training; lunch and snacks will be provided both days. There will be prizes too, but you must be present to win! Please register here.
