  • Due to limited space and high demand, this year’s training will use an application process to determine attendees. Submitting an application does not guarantee a spot.

    Please complete this application by Friday, November 7th


    After review, groups will be notified of their selection status and the number of rooms awarded. Selected groups must then complete the Attendee Information Form to provide participant details.


    This training is open to Ohio teens in grades 9–12 and their adult allies. Each group may apply for up to four rooms (including adult rooms), accommodating up to 12 youth. We recommend bringing at least three students for the best experience. Attending adult allies are responsible for their students the entirety of the training.
