Welcome Dinner Project – Facilitator Training

Through the Belong Club Welcome Dinner Program, we will bring newly arrived migrants, older local residents and people experiencing social isolation together over shared meals, culture and conversation. As a facilitator, you’ll play an important role in helping people feel welcomed, included and connected from the moment they arrive.

This is a wonderful opportunity to develop valuable facilitation and communication skills while helping build a more connected and inclusive community.

Training will cover:

• The Welcome Dinner model and philosophy
• Creating welcoming and inclusive environments
• Facilitating conversations and connections
• Cultural awareness and inclusion
• Supporting people experiencing social isolation
• Practical facilitation techniques
• Safety and participant wellbeing
• Pathways into Belong Club

No previous facilitation experience is required. We’re looking for warm, friendly people who enjoy connecting with others and helping people feel like they belong.
