Description
Description: This unique training will equip participants to facilitate the Around the Table curricula, which aims to increase the health and resilience of the communities you serve. Participants will:
- Learn how to implement the Around the Table curricula
- Explore the relationship between positive and adverse experiences and nourishment
- Develop compassionate facilitation strategies
- Engage in personal and group reflection
Audience: Educators working with older youth/young adults and/or adult caregivers. [If an agency has multiple participants, each participant must register separately so that their registration email address can then be added to our online training system.]
Training Delivery and Dates: This program includes self-paced content (videos, reflection activities, and readings) and live, instructor-led sessions. Registered participants will gain access to our online training system (TalentLMS) beginning late-April, and will need to complete approximately one hour of self-paced work prior to the first live session on 5/4. Participants will have access to digital curriculum files and will also be sent an Around the Table Curriculum Bundle (includes a Youth workbook and instructor guide and a Nourishing Families workbook and instructor guide). Key dates are as follows:
- Registration Closes: 5/3
- Self-Paced Course Opens: late-April
- Live Zoom Sessions: 5/4, 5/11, 5/18, 5/25; Times: 10am-11:30am PST
NOTE: Although registration will remain open until 5/3, participants who register after 4/25 may not receive the hardcopy curriculum bundle until after the first session, in which case participants will have to rely on the digital curriculum for reference.
Total Training Time: Approximately 12 hours total (six hours of live sessions and about six hours of self-paced work)
Next Steps: Upon completion of this program, participants are certified to deliver the Around the Table Youth and Around the Table: Nourishing Families curriculum.

“This training was wonderful. It was insightful and engaging – everything that was part of this training had a purpose – nothing was there just to fill time or space. The facilitators were authentic and honest when facilitating and when sharing their own experience with the pilots of this curriculum. I am so excited to put this training into practice one day in my County! THANK YOU!!” – A training participant from Wisconsin SNAP-Ed
