Professional Development Workshops

How to Schedule a Workshop

Afterschool program directors, site directors, or other authorized individuals charged with securing professional development trainings can request to schedule a specific training at their program. Trainings can be requested at any point in the year and efforts will be made to fill the request in a timely manner. For best results, please request a training at least four weeks in advance.  Please note that we require a minimum of 10 participants for each workshop (with a maximum of 40 participants).
