The Core Training

This is the necessary first step. The Leadership Training Institute requires that our Core Training be completed before you move on to any of our other training programs. The Core is a three day course that will introduce participants to community leadership issues for people living with HIV/AIDS including:
 

  • History of PWA advocacy in New York State
  • Effective and knowledgeable leadership
  • Identity, diversity and disclosure issues

LTI believes that everyone has the potential to lead. This training helps you identify your individual strengths and then use those strengths to have a positive impact within the HIV/AIDS community.

The Core Training gives you the foundation. LTI offers workshops that will help you grow to the next level in your leadership role. Choose one or more trainings that speak to your strengths.  You'll be developing your skills and learning about new advocacy opportunities. Your personal growth will lead to community growth.

Next Step Workshops

  • Community Advisory Boards - What You Need to Know About Being a Member

  • CAB Leadership Skills

  • Community Planning - Understanding the Process

  • Presentation Skills

Workshops

These skills-focused workshops equip you with exactly what you will need to accomplish your goals. PWA/LTI wants you to take the lead.


Community Advisory Boards - What You Need to Know About Being a Member (CAB Roles)
(2-Day Training)

Community advisory boards (CABs) are an important part of the HIV/AIDS community. Individuals coming together to focus on an issue can make a forceful statement. In this 2-day training you'll become better acquainted with the essential types and functions of AIDS-related CABs. You will explore what is required of you as a member and how to work effectively in the group. Individuals do make a difference especially when bringing their skills into a community advisory board setting.

CAB Leadership Skills
(2-Day Training)

Building on the work in Community Advisory Boards, this workshop explores information and skills that enhance effective leadership on CABs. Emphasis is on collaboration and working in teams, communication and negotiation skills, and common structural elements that can help groups work together. Note: due to limited availability, registration for this training is only open to participants who have 1) completed Community Advisory Boards (CAB Roles) and 2) are currently active members of an advisory board.

Community Planning — Understanding the Process
(2-Day Training)

Introduction to the Ryan White CARE Act and CDC HIV Prevention Planning This training helps facilitate understanding of the purpose and the structure of the Ryan White CARE Act and the HIV Prevention Community Planning process.  We will explore leadership opportunities within both of these frameworks and how participants can best utilize their strengths in community planning groups.

Presentation Skills
(2-Day Training)

Not everyone is comfortable expressing ideas or opinions in a public forum. It can be even harder when a presentation or speech may be involved.  Leaders must become comfortable with these aspects of their group participation. That's what this training can help you accomplish. We will arm you with the skills necessary to not only express your views but to present information in ways that help you accomplish your goal.

Working Effectively in Groups
(3-Day Training)

Dealing with group dynamics takes a great deal of training. Every situation is different and new. But there are basic skills that can be used to improve participation and make the environment a safe one in any group. We will focus on positive group roles, what makes groups work effectively and on dealing with difficult situations.
