You care about the youth in your community. You want to inspire
your community or organization to work together for youth. You
want to teach others to become asset builders. You want to help
fuel the Healthy Communities • Healthy
Youth movement. |
These are some of the reasons that more than 700 communities across the United States and Canada have brought asset-based training to their communities! Whether you want to spark awareness or help your vision team move forward, we've found that a great way to excite and educate people about the assets—and help them put this energy into action—is through training.

What will it cost to bring Search Institute Training to my community or organization?
Coordinating a training event is an investment in your community or organization's future. You should plan for three types of cost 1) the session fee 2) the training materials and handout duplication, and 3) the trainer's travel expenses. You will find session fees for each
session or workshop on the description page for each training.
The training materials cost varies with the requirements for each event. You will receive a 20% discount on training resources. In addition, you can use this discount to order supplemental training materials. Lastly, the trainer's travel expenses depend on the distance and time of travel. We try, whenever possible, to minimize the travel costs by booking flights in advance and using lodging accommodations you recommend.
