Teacher Training
Youth development programs have the greatest chance
to succeed when combined with experiential, program-specific
instructor training. To ensure the integrity and quality
of our programs, educators must participate in a Lions
Quest professional development workshop in order to
obtain our curriculum.
Lions Quest professional development workshops are
offered in a variety of formats, allowing for flexibility,
accessibility and sustainability.
