Training network guidelines

To qualify to be listed on the Training Network:

•  Each church will have a trained program leader in place
   
•  If each church has 4 or more BeFriender candidates to be trained, program leaders from all churches will co-train
   
•  If a church is sending 3 or fewer candidates to another church for training:
   
  • The program leaders can discern together the responsibilities for training, including the option to co-train
     
  • Program leaders from each church will need to stay in communication
     
  • If program leaders are not co-training, the trainer will need to observe attitudes, skills. and behaviors of the candidates from the other church(es) and share them with the candidates' program leader(s) for Taking Stock
     
  • Discernment and the one-to-one Taking Stock should be handled by the candidates' program leader
     
  • Each program leader orders Candidate Workbooks and other materials for their own candidates
     
•  Regardless of the location of the training, ongoing supervision and meetings should be conducted at the BeFriender  candidates' own church, except where churches have formed a cluster
