Facilitator Requirements
APOST is looking to invest in local OST professionals and grow its number of facilitators by covering the registration fee, airfare, lodging, and meals for Weikart Center Training of Trainers retreats.
For over a decade, APOST has offered training developed by the Forum for Youth Investment’s Weikart Center, such as their Youth Work Methods workshops. This year we are looking to increase the number of certified Weikart Workshop Facilitators in both Youth Work Methods and their newest curriculum offering, Social & Emotional Learning (SEL).

Interested but not about to commit to a spring 2025 retreat? Fill out the application anyway to let us know you’re interested in fall 2025 or 2026!
Individuals chosen to attend one of these retreats must deliver 5 in-person, 2.5 hour Weikart trainings to Allegheny County’s out-of-school time providers on behalf of APOST within one year of becoming a facilitator. APOST will handle all logistics and registration and will work with facilitators to schedule workshops. After that time, APOST may contract with the individuals to facilitate additional Weikart Youth Work or SEL sessions.
