Description

Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World certified facilitator training is the prerequisite for the Getting Ahead While Getting Out and Getting Ahead in the Workplace certified facilitator trainings. 

The purpose of the Getting Ahead While Getting Out reentry model is to provide citizens returning from incarceration and their families a comprehensive, community- and relationship-based approach to reentry that begins in pre-release and follows through with long-term support.

The goal is to engage incarcerated individuals, their families, volunteers, community organizations, and people in corrections as problem solvers who work shoulder-to-shoulder to create communities where everyone can live well.

Become a Getting Ahead While Getting Out certified facilitator and help under-resourced individuals returning from incarceration to:

  • Stabilize and take charge of their lives
  • Complete a self-assessment of their own resources and make plans to build them
  • Develop a series of mental models to examine their own lives and create new future stories
  • Investigate the impact that poverty has had on themselves and their community
  • Use this information to build resources for a better life and community

Facilitator training includes the following topics: philosophy, theory, motivation and incentives, long-term support, mental models, content, process, and practice sessions. Additionally, you will receive:

  • Overview of Getting Ahead While Getting Out PowerPoint slides
  • Personalized follow-up coaching
  • Preparation to facilitate Getting Ahead While Getting Out groups
  • Getting Ahead While Getting Out Workbook and accompanying User’s Guide (the set)
