RY Facilitator Materials
RY Student Materials
Student Materials are consumable and often important for program graduates to keep to remember the skills and support gained in their time in the group. Please order one per youth participant.
RY Coordinator Training
A Coordinator should be assigned to supervise your Facilitator(s) and support your program to ensure implementation fidelity. The RY Coordinator Training prepares participants for important supportive tasks related to building infrastructure, coaching, supervision, and sustaining programming. Successful completion of the RY Facilitator Training is a prerequisite for participation in the Coordinator Training. If you are a “team of one”, then you should complete both the Facilitator and Coordinator Trainings.
