3 Steps to building connection.

2

Get Certified!

Host a training specifically for your organization/group. Or, attend a virtual Facilitator Certification Training (offered every January and August.) Once certified, facilitators can lead groups year after year.

3

Create Connection!

Schedule groups, enroll participants, and launch! Participants get to know each other and develop stronger relationships over the course of 6 sessions. Repeat step 3 indefinitely.
