Virtual Learning Portal
The Project GO Leader Training consists of 10 modules and a Pre-Training Assignment. We have gathered many of the resources from our in-person training and made them available on-line. Although we cannot provide the full experience one would receive during the in-person training, these resources and materials will give you a good introduction to the content and provide you with resources to continue learning on the topics you find most helpful.
For virtual learning, instructions and power point presentations for each module can be found below. Some of the modules include videos, recorded during an in-person training, to better explain concepts and demonstrate activities. You will find a recommended reading list and additional learning resources to explore at the end of each power point presentation.
​
You will need to download the Project GO Leader Workbook to follow along with each module as you go.
