Our training for staff and volunteers working with people at risk of or experiencing homelessness leverages the knowledge and expertise of local programs and organizations, as well as external facilitators.
Our training is ideal for those who work with singles, youth, women, families and Indigenous Peoples who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness, such as:
- front-line staff;
- team leads;
- program managers; and
- senior managers.
Some of the training offered will be prioritized for programs funded by Calgary Homeless Foundation, as they are considered core training requirements for Case Management Standards.
For information about registering, or if you are interested in attending any of the training, please contact: training@calgaryhomeless.com
