Cost for Seattle-based Trainings
While keeping in mind that every effort will be made to host IYS Trainings here in PA to keep training costs to a minimum, applicants should use the maximum fee for budgeting purposes. Please note that the current cost for IY training in Seattle, WA is $550 per person. Multiply this cost times the number of facilitators you propose to have trained. Make sure to add in materials, mileage, lodging, and food costs for each attendee. If your agency only has 1-3 group leaders who need training and there is no upcoming PA training in the immediate future, it might be more cost effective to consider a Seattle-based training.
