NOTICE OF SCHOLARSHIP FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN BC
In honour of National Indigenous People’s Day (June 21), Still Here is offering free admission to an Indigenous person in BC for our Recovery Coach Training course.
This is a 5-day, 40-hour training intensive that is being held in White Rock, BC at the Ocean Promenade Hotel on June 12-16, 2023. The value of this training is $1,995 + GST (totalling $2,094.75) and includes the course manual and materials, as well as lunch and beverages each day.
Accommodations, transportation, and evening meals as needed would be the responsibility of the participant.
We encourage all members of Indigenous descent living in in BC to apply. Your home nation or community may be outside of BC but you must be a resident of BC for the last six consecutive months.
TO APPLY:
Please state your name and nation, whether you are living within your nation’s reserve, or if you are urban indigenous.
Please ensure that you have the training dates available to attend (June 12-16, 2023, 8 am-5 pm) and that you would have the ability to transport yourself there, as well as pay for your own evening meals and accommodations as required.
Please tell us in 250 words or less (approximately one page, double-spaced) why you want to become a recovery coach and how you would use your training within your nation or urban community to help Indigenous people recover from addiction.
Please email this along with your application. If you require assistance with any of these steps, please let us know, and we will walk you through it.
