You are invited to apply for a full or partial scholarship from the City of Palmdale. Scholarships are awarded based on need and clarity on where and how you can have impact a part of our Antelope Valley community where you have influence. This could be your workplace, school, or neighborhood. More partial scholarships are awarded than full ones in an attempt to have shared accountability between individual participants, their employers or other sponsoring agencies, and the City.
Participants are expected to complete pre-work, attend the live training classes and virtual coaching sessions, complete reflection prompts and a PERMAH Quiz on the learning portal, and participate in the pay-it-forward challenges and impact project at the end of the class. The impact project asks you to apply something you learned in the program by teaching it to a group of your choosing.
Not to worry – we have your back. Everything is video recorded, so you can catch up as you need. If you have burning questions, you can submit them on the special class membership site, to which you’ll have an all-access pass, or come to a coaching call at any time.
The cohort will have up to 50 participants. Don’t worry – the group will be the perfect size so everyone’s questions can be heard and answered, and so that you get as much value as possible.
A lot! Your teacher’s priority is your learning and development, and they will work generously to help you as you need or want coaching.
