Grants for facilitator training?
Hello - Has anyone had success talking your city, county, or state agencies into paying for your facilitator training course? If so, will you kindly provide a quick summary of the steps you took and any tips you feel may be helpful?
Several months ago, I moved to an area without any SMART Recovery meetings within 40 miles. After months of just being bummed that I was stuck with online meetings only, it finally dawned on me that I can probably start one myself (duh, lol). I'll pay the training course fee if I need to, but I figure there may be some kind of grant money available for something like this that will ultimately benefit the community.
I just came up with this idea tonight, so I haven't yet tried to make any phone calls. I apologize if my post is premature. Regardless, I'll be happy to share what I learn after going through the process myself in case it helps others. - Thanks! 😊
