Train-the-Trainer

The National ROMA Train-the-Trainer program provides an intensive training experience to participants. Trainers leave the program with both a rich ROMA curriculum and state-of-the art training skills and techniques. The program has 21 certified trainers to date with 22 interns pending certification representing 23 states. The Nat'l TtT program is supported by the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services and Community Action Association of PA.

The priority for recruitment of trainers for 2002-2003 will be from states who have not participated to date. For more information, please contact:
