How to Lead Groups with Purpose

The Facilitator Training is MCSR’s newest offering, grounded in more than 30 years of interactive facilitation. Over two days, you’ll learn how to engage youth and adults, create space for honest conversation, and move groups from dialogue to action through multimedia, case studies, conversation, and hands-on practice.

It’s equal parts training and connection. You’ll examine your facilitation style, learn from fellow practitioners, and work through real-world challenges. You’ll leave with a practical facilitation toolkit and a community of people doing this work alongside you.
