Core Training

What is Core Training?

Core Training is an opportunity to connect with other young people in our communities and learn more about sexual health and harm reduction!

We will learn more about the ways colonization, racism and cissexism shape our experiences with HIV and Hep C as well as build our knowledge on the basics of how these viruses can and can't be passed. We'll also spend some time developing skills to challenge stigma and better support our friends in conversations about sex and substance use. 

All participants will receive a $100 honorarium for their participation in this leadership development opportunity! 

When is it happening?

The training takes place over two days:

Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th November  // 9AM - 4PM 

Where will it take place?

We'll be hosting the training in Downtown, Prince George.

How will I get to the training?

If you live in Prince George, we will cover the cost of a taxi or arrange for a staff or volunteer to pick you up or cover the cost of your gas if you drive.

If you live outside of Prince George, we will cover the cost of your transport including any flights or driving as well the cost of a hotel to stay for the training. 

Once you register, we'll text or email you to arrange your travel.

All travel arrangements will be confirmed by November 10th.

What about COVID-19?

If you experience COVID-19 symptoms on the dates of the training, please do not attend. We will prioritize your registration for future trainings.

We have limited registration to 6 participants and will be using a private room large enough for us all to maintain physical distance of a least 2 meters. Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided. We will be following the public health guidance regarding mask use. There will be times in our training that we will be required to wear masks, and other times when we will not be required. If you are not able to wear a mask for any reason, please let us know ahead of time and we can connect about alternatives. 

The training activities are designed to maintain physical distance between participants. 

What about meals?

Breakfast and lunch will be provided training and will be catered as individually packaged meals. If you are travelling from outside of Prince George, we will also provide you with cash to purchase food while you are in town, for meals that are not provided on training days. 

We will confirm any food allergies or restrictions with you shortly after you register.

What about other access needs or questions I have?

Our staff will also ask about any other ways we can make this training possible and comfortable with for you when we reach out to confirm your attendance.
