How long does the cohort training take?

In total, the four modules are presented over a total of 10 hours, on multiple weeknights or weekends. We recognize that most youth sports organizations are run by volunteers who have other career obligations. With that in mind, we offer both online and in-person cohort training.

How long has this program been in existence?

This program has been operating for three years. We have engaged over a hundred organizations and 30 organizations have become part of our cohorts. These cohort organizations exist in all 8 Western New York counties and directly impacted over 20,000 families in the last year.

What does this cost our organization?

Due to the generosity of Ralph Wilson Jr. Foundation and Niagara University, all of these services are free to participating organizations. In fact, upon completion of the cohort training, your organization will receive a $500 honorarium.

Is this training in-person or online?

If you have read this far, you are probably already seeing areas in which you believe your organization needs to improve. That being said, we encourage you to take this short, confidential “quiz” that will help you, and us, better understand the operational challenges you may be experiencing.

How soon can my organization start?
