Cost for certification: The Train the Facilitator program costs $1,500 per person. Once completed, you will be certified to offer the HOPE 101 training and charge up to $1,500 per training. Certification also comes with the option of being listed on our website as a HOPE facilitator for those looking for local trainers.
Annual recertification: HOPE Facilitator Certification is valid for one year. To maintain your certification and have access to ongoing support, resources, and Office Hours, Facilitators will need to present at least two HOPE workshops per year and submit evaluations that are satisfactory or above.
Scholarships: There are a limited number of scholarships available on a first come, first served basis for each cohort.

Trainers of color and those living in rural communities are encouraged to apply!
