Peer Training Program

The Enlace Institute Peer Trainers Program launched in April 2009. We are training key leaders of 25 Enlace member and ally organizations through two development sessions per year over a two-year period. Each development session involves 2-3 days of training in Enlace’s high performance systems frameworks.

During the first two years of the Institute, peer trainers learned five Enlace frameworks – Evaluation Star (team evaluation), Strategic Direction (obstacle management), Rap (structured recruitment conversation), Organizing Cycle (short-term planning), and Proactive Plan (proactive strategic planning or new campaign creation). These frameworks are the basic building blocks of the Enlace planning system. Since ongoing evaluation is a cornerstone of our philosophy, the Evaluation Star is the first framework that peer trainers learned.

An important element of the Peer Trainer Program is follow up with participants between training sessions. We are able to consult, advise and mentor them as they implement the practice of the frameworks within their organizations. Download the Peer Training Program flyer for more information on trainings for 2011.
