Train Your Team

Training staff shouldn’t depend on big budgets, travel, or perfect staffing. Many programs face tight resources, high turnover, and constant onboarding needs. Train Your Team (TYT) courses are designed for that reality, supporting out-of-school time programs, including before and after-school programs, summer camps, childcare settings, and other youth-serving organizations.

Each TYT course prepares your team to lead training from within. It starts with an online leadership course that helps directors, site supervisors, and senior staff to confidently facilitate learning. From there, leaders use ready-to-deliver training videos, facilitator guides, and printable resources to train staff on their own schedule, whether for onboarding, mid-season refreshers, or ongoing professional development.

Courses are designed to support staff at all experience levels, combining clear foundational concepts with practical strategies teams can apply immediately. The result is consistent, high-quality training that helps staff build confidence, align around shared approaches, and support children more effectively.
