Teacher Training
Lions Quest believes the most effective way to implement
positive youth development programs and bring about
lasting improvements in school climates, is to equip
educators with current research, materials and strategies
for addressing critical issues facing youth. Our workshops
are conducted by Lions Quest certified-trained educators
who represent the highest standards of professionalism
in training and education, and in their commitment to
youth.
Workshops are conducted in three formats:
Sponsored Workshops
Lions Quest offers sponsored workshops for all three programs-
Skills for Growing (K-5), Skills for Adolescence
(6-8) and Skills for Action (9-12). Sponsored
workshops can also facilitate a combination of programs,
such as K-8. Sponsored workshops allow you, the sponsor,
to choose the date and location that is most convenient
for your staff and represents an affordable and flexible
way to train up to 36 people in one workshop. Many schools
or districts use locally sponsored workshops as an opportunity
to involve administration and support staff, parents
and local Lions or other community members, in the planning
and implementation of Lions Quest programs, helping
to create that whole-school climate and community connection.
A sponsored workshop can be offered in one, two or
three day, consecutive or split modules. Contracts for
this type of workshop are requested at least 6 weeks
prior to your desired workshop date, with a $500 discount
offered for compliance. A $500 cancellation fee will
