We’re once again offering an online summer training for new Circle of Friends facilitators. The program includes:
Viewing two 30-minute webinars
Completing a brief “Next Steps” planning guide
Scheduling a 15–30 minute Zoom follow-up meeting to go over any questions to help get your CoF group started.
This training is designed as a self-paced, independent study. You can complete it anytime between May and the end of August 2026 at your convenience. Click THIS LINK to sign up and receive more information.
There will also be a fall 2026 training for those who prefer it to the summer training. To be announced at a later date.
Please take one minute to add your contact information for the monthly newsletter and CoF content by clicking the button below the newsletter sign-up. If you received the newsletters last school year you will automatically get them again this coming school year so no need to add again unless your email is changing.
If you need help don't hesitate to reach out via email or schedule a one-to-one call or Zoom session.
