Facilitation Training Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect (PCAR), a division of Respect Together, works to create lasting change by mobilizing advocates, service providers, leaders, and communities to support survivors, advance victims’ rights, and prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. In addition to Pennsylvania-specific work, Respect Together operates the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) and is a partner in RALIANCE. PCAR partners with a network of rape crisis centers to bring help, hope, and healing around issues of sexual violence to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. PCAR assures that communities have access to quality victim services and prevention education by providing funding, training, materials, and assistance to a network of rape crisis centers that serve all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. PCAR provides resources and training on sexual assault-related issues to professionals across the Commonwealth.
EXPECTATIONS:
PCAR is looking for interested preventionists from partner centers to assist in the planning and development of a blended facilitation training program for all preventionists. The participating preventionists will be responsible for collaborating with the PCAR Prevention Department to define learning objectives, design training content, and strategize the optimal delivery methods for a blended learning.
REQUIREMENTS:
This project will require collaboration as PCAR will assist with coordinating meetings and documenting ideas. Participating preventionists may also need to complete tasks outside of scheduled meetings. The work will need to be completed by June 26, 2026. The anticipated start date will be January 26, 2026.
Proposals SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
A. Applicant name and/or agency and contact information.
B. Approval from your supervisor.
C. Outline the estimated hourly rate for the contract to compensate center for the time the preventionist spends on this project.
D. Applicant’s interest and experience in facilitation.
Respect Together is committed to inclusivity, justice, and connectedness. One of our strategic goals is to become an organization that advances for opportunities for all. Included in this commitment is an interest in supporting and developing partnerships with minority-owned businesses or businesses that demonstrate measurable outcomes related to their commitment to inclusivity, justice, and connectedness.
We define inclusivity broadly to encompass the full spectrum of humanity, taking into account demographics such as race/ethnicity; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) status; gender identity; and disabilities, among others.
Justice is promoting impartiality and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems. Addressing justice issues requires an understanding of the underlying or root causes of outcome disparities within our society.
Connectedness is the degree to which individuals are able to participate fully in the decision-making processes within an organization or group.
