Nonviolence Training Organizer-Facilitator Agreement

 

 

ORGANIZER’S SECTION

This agreement can help organize a nonviolence training program so that it is the most positive experience for participants, organizers and facilitators. It will be our shared agreement and will help all of us to be "on the same page". Hours of planning take place before a training, and still situations will arise last minute! This agreement will help you prepare ahead of time most of the major elements needed for the program. Please complete, sign, and send the form to the Facilitator who is your main contact to signify a mutual commitment to the training event. The Facilitator will sign and return a copy to you.
