SCG FACILITATOR EVENTS
SCG Facilitator Trainings are six hour sessions led by approved SENG Certified Facilitators in order to certify interested individuals to facilitate SENG Community Groups Online or in Person. You must have an active SENG Membership and participate yourself in at least one SENG Community Group (or former SMPG) in order to become a SCG Facilitator. Please see upcoming SENG Community Groups if you still need to meet that qualification.
SCG Facilitator Refresher courses are two-hour sessions required every two years for current SCG Facilitators. These sessions are designed to keep SENG Facilitators informed about current trends and resources, assist with marketing, and ensure the integrity of the SCG model. Refresher courses will be free for attendees of the Annual Community Conference and will carry a nominal fee for virtual attendance as they are scheduled.

BECOME A CERTIFIED
SENG COMMUNITY GROUP FACILITATOR
Becoming a SENG Community Group Facilitator is a transformative opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of gifted individuals. Many of our facilitators choose to become certified because they have gained so much from the groups they attended and want to offer the same support to others in their community. This certification is not only a personal investment but also a chance to recoup your fees by hosting your own groups.
As a certified facilitator, you will join a unique community within SENG, where you are invited to free quarterly Community of Practice gatherings. These sessions provide a platform to connect with other facilitators and potential co-facilitators, discuss successful and not-so-successful strategies, brainstorm solutions for ongoing challenges, give feedback to SENG, find mentors, and practice facilitation techniques. Embrace this opportunity to grow, connect, and contribute to the well-being of gifted individuals.

- Maintaining an active SENG membership
