How to Become a Facilitator

PLT facilitators conduct workshops and activities that spread environmental literacy. If you are a PLT educator looking to become more involved in this service, here are some ways you can become a facilitator in your region.

Facilitator Leadership Training Workshops

Facilitator training workshops prepare nominees for leadership positions in PLT. See PLT's Calendar of Events or contact PLT Central to find out about upcoming facilitator workshops in your region.

Next Training: November 5, 2009. View the Registration and Tentative Agenda.

Facilitator Mentoring Program

This program provides a system for training new workshop facilitators with the support of seasoned facilitators. Due to the limited number of facilitator training workshops throughout the year, interested PLT Educators do not have to wait until the next scheduled facilitator training workshop in their area.

Trainees will learn how to be a facilitator in a real workshop setting and will be involved in a workshop from beginning to end, including preparation and follow-up. Their designated mentor will guide the trainee in the process of planning a workshop and integrate the trainee into the workshop at various levels to provide experience.

Candidates who have successfully demonstrated their ability and commitment to becoming a facilitator will receive designation as a PLT Facilitator.
