About the Program
Training for Impact
Training others is a powerful way to strengthen the movement to end domestic and sexual violence — but how do you make sure your trainings truly have an impact?
In this three-month program, you’ll explore proven approaches to training design and facilitation, try them out in your own work, and learn alongside a supportive community of peers from across the country and territories.

Structure of the program
Meet In-Person in Vermont
Training for Impact begins with a four-day in-person intensive focused on training design and facilitation strategies that foster learning and engagement.
Cohort members will gather at the Vermont Network’s office and complete a Learning-Centered Design Course, facilitated with Global Learning Partners and Amplify Leadership Lab staff.
Apply Learnings to Your Own Work
After the in-person meeting, you’ll apply the approaches you’ve learned by designing and facilitating a training in your own work.
Gather
virtually
Throughout the program, you’ll receive on-going online support from your cohort peers and the Amplify team.
Amplify staff lead additional virtual learning opportunities, giving you space to reflect on the successes and challenges of applying new training design and facilitation strategies in your work.
Cohort members can also join virtual office hours to receive individualized support on improving their training design and facilitation plans and integrating these learnings into future projects.

What previous TFI participants are saying
“Since implementing what I learned in TFI, I’ve seen more positive feedback in evaluations, especially around engagement and overall impact.”
“This has been the best training I’ve ever attended, and words cannot express how thankful I am.”
“This training has inspired so much [at my coalition]! Not only have I implemented the design and facilitation skills to my personal trainings, but we have included content from TFI in our Training Manual and Training Planning Forms and have hosted several training courses for our staff trainers to disseminate the information and resources from TFI to better equip them to provide quality training!”
