Scheduled Training Events
While our long term vision is global, KidLead will always be local, avoiding expensive travel costs and promoting community impact. Following is a list of current and upcoming training programs, listed by state, city/area. We may have certified trainers in your area who are have not scheduled a training event. If you have interest in introducing a KidLead training program to your community or organization, please contact us.
In each of 4 modules, participants receive materials such as a t-shirt, notebook, handouts, concept cards, symbols and certificate in addition to 12-hours of training. Parents receive 3-hours of skill development, a 180-page book and info folder. This is at a tiny fraction of the cost of adult, corporate comparisons.
