Scholarship Training Fund: Change a Life

Help us to grow our volunteer community!


We have a goal of raising $10,000 this month, which would cover the cost of 100 training scholarships! More individuals trained means more SMART Recovery meetings in communities around the country.


Help us spread SMART Recovery to more who need it. Donate to the Volunteer Month Scholarship Training Fund between now and April 15th.


Your contribution makes a significant impact in helping train future facilitators to empower those in recovery to live a Life Beyond Addiction.

There is no cost to participate, but registration is required. The training link will be emailed to you the day before the training.

 

Session 1: Thursday, April 8 (4:00 p.m., Eastern) - deadline Tuesday, April 6

Session 2: Tuesday, April 27 (10:00 a.m., Eastern) - deadline Friday, April 23

Nominate Someone in Your Community for SMART Recovery's Training Scholarship

Do you know someone who would make a great facilitator? Nominate them for a training scholarship. To qualify, the person must:


  • Be recommended by a current facilitator or SROL liaison

  • Plan to join an existing meeting as a co-facilitator

  • Intend to become an SROL volunteer or plan to start a new SMART Recovery meeting

  • Not be a professional that will start a closed meeting at their treatment center/facility


Applications will be gathered between April 16th - 30th, and selections for scholarship funds will be announced in early May.


Details on how to nominate someone will be shared in future emails.
