A workshop designed just for you!!

As an alternative to our regularly scheduled Leader Training Workshops, NMFEC can design and implement a workshop specifically for your organization or community effort.

If you have 12 or more people who need to be trained to lead one or more of our   popular Parenting Programs, we can send a Nationally Certified Trainer to conduct a Special Training Workshop (SLTW) at a   location convenient to you.

We also provide workshops and classes that support parents directly, as part of your community's Family Enrichment Programs/Activities.

The minimum number of participants may vary depending on your geographic location
