Certified 4-H Thriving Model Curriculum Trainers

 

Certified 4-H Thriving Model Curriculum Trainers

Professional development that is effective, lasting, and powerful, take more than providing an activity in a notebook. How we learn new concepts, like those found in the 4-H Thriving Model, requires skilled teaching and facilitation. Because we want all 4-H professionals to be trained well in both the content of the curriculum, and how to use it to teach others, we have prepared a group of certified curriculum trainers who are available to teach the curriculum to others. These 4-H professionals have undergone several hours of training on the curriculum and how to teach it.

If you are interested in having the curriculum trainers train you and your team, please reach out directly to those on the following list. Training is provided based on the trainer’s capacity and availability.
