  • Interactive discussion and support are the basis of the curriculum.
  • Leadership for each meeting will be shared among members.
  • Program guidelines must be followed in order for program success.
  • Unconditional respect is required.

  • Community is built where teens find a place to “belong”.

MPOWRD Training Program

Facilitators must be certified and trained in youth outreach with certified background checks required within each organization.  Ideally two facilitators should be trained from each location to provide “back-up” to meetings. These facilitators not only ensure the continuity of meetings but also provide a support system for each other.

Program Regulations:

MPOWRD training is available to: coalitions, high school staff, behavioral health providers, juvenile detention services, and other youth support agencies requiring clearance to work with youth.  Certification will be granted when the program begins at the site location and MPOWRD is notified.
