The Youth SAVE training consists of 9 hours to be completed by participants over multiple days. The training format consists of two 3.5-hour virtual class sessions and two 1-hour webinars to be completed independently. This training uses Zoom and we require participants to have their camera for the duration of virtual class sessions. If this isn’t a possibility for you during these training dates, please let us know and we would be happy to place you on our email list and notify you of future Youth SAVE training opportunities.
