Join PIQE as a “Facilitator”.

What is a Facilitator?

Facilitator is the individual responsible for teaching and facilitating the PIQE nine-week parent training course at local preschools, elementary, middle, and high schools. The program is held over a nine-week period, in which the initial planning session delineates the mission of the program and documents the issues and concerns of the parents. The following six core classes strive to increase the academic success of pre-K to 12 grade students and lower the dropout rate through parental involvement at home and in the schools in underserved communities as a pathway out of poverty.

What are the requirements/qualifications?

•  Have a Bachelor's Degree in any area.

•  For Pre-K facilitators; a Child Development Certificate or 36 ECE units is a minimum requirement.

• Have experience facilitating a group.

•  General knowledge of the U.S. school system (recommended but not required for Pre-K facilitators).

•  Have graduated from the PIQE nine-week parent training course.

•  Attend a 6 hour facilitator training.

•  And overall a strong desire to improve the life of all students.

 What you need to invest in terms of time

•  Commitment of 9 weeks to teach the parent course for an hour and a half a week.

•  Attend a 1 hour weekly facilitator meeting at the PIQE office.

•  Total average of 3 ½ hours a week.

What will I gain if I choose to be a PIQE facilitator?

•  A small stipend of up to $600 and the biggest rewards of all: (1) you are giving back to your community and (2) you are helping parents and in turn their children.
