Build your in-house capacity to prevent and deal with violence
Youth-serving organizations can use Respect Education programs and resources under a Service Agreement or a Training Partner Agreement.
A Service Agreement is used and signed when a customer purchases consultation services, workshops, Youth Facilitator training and/or Prevention Educator training from the Canadian Red Cross. Canadian Red Cross trains and certifies the learners.
A Training Partner Agreement is used and signed when an organization wants to use their own Trainer to train and certify Youth Facilitators and/or Prevention Educators in their own organization or in other organizations. Red Cross trains and certifies personnel as Youth-Serving Organization Trainers. The Youth-Serving Organization Trainer will then train and certify Youth Facilitators and/or Prevention Educators within their organization or according to their contract.
