Training Overview
ARISE Life Skills Staff Training Opportunities
“No Training Necessary—But Available”
Questions: Is there an education level (i.e. Masters or Bachelors Degree) required to teach the ARISE program? Can individuals or programs purchase and use the ARISE Curricula without training?
Answers: No, there isn’t a required education level to teach ARISE. The ARISE curricula has been designed specifically for those with no formal teaching experience, however, teachers, counselors, therapists, and others have enhanced their group facilitation skills by attending ARISE trainings. Yes, you can purchase the curricula without training. In fact most of those who are successfully using this remarkable material around the world have never been trained by ARISE. ARISE training is an asset for those unaccustomed to working with at-risk, troubled, often out-of-control youth. These individuals can step right in and begin making a positive change in their lives.
The unique ARISE curriculum is created from scratch, specifically for troubled youth. These practical life-skills are easy for learners to understand and ARISE offers training to assist you in making these interactive lessons “come to life” for your students.
ARISE Foundation’s mission is to introduce valuable life skills to youth and adults, enabling them to achieve their highest potential through training and education. This is accomplished through our life skills training program and ARISE Life-Skills Curriculum. You don’t have to hold a college degree in education to be trained as an ARISE instructor. ARISE is taught by those with GED diplomas, volunteers, teachers, counselors—anyone with a desire to help young people. Please click on the following link to see our ARISE Recipe for Success.
Currently, ARISE offers three highly interactive and informative trainings. We have provided below a brief description of each ARISE staff training opportunity. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
