Outreach Trainer Program

OUTREACH TRAINER PROGRAM

Being an Outreach Trainer requires a considerable commitment of time and energy, but the opportunities for personal and professional development, while being of service to others and making a positive difference in the world, are numerous and rewarding.

Trained and certified by Monroe, Outreach Trainers play an important role in furthering our mission by providing educational services to the public, increasing public awareness of The Monroe Institute, and stimulating interest in our residential, virtual, and online programs. Throughout the world, Outreach Trainers introduce diverse groups of people through workshops and presentations to The Monroe Institute, our programs, and audio technologies.

The comprehensive Outreach Trainer Program consists of three sequential phases: (1) an intensive home study phase with reading, writing, and other assignments, (2) a 5-day/6-night residential training, and (3) a mentoring period during which the trainee gives two or more presentations and conducts the initial workshop. The training program, which culminates with certification as an Outreach Trainer, is designed to be completed within one year.
