Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) Training of Facilitators

Led by Jerry Crowshoe, director of Native American Health Sciences, this professional development opportunity teaches leaders to approach your organization and teams with the Gathering of Native Americans (GONA) curriculum, a culture-based planning approach widely used in many communities to drive your mission and goals. With a foundation in cultural values, lessons, and stories, the GONA approach applies to multiple settings, including schools and youth programs, businesses, and organizational strategic planning.

In-person training Oct. 21–23 at WSU Spokane

Participants will learn in-depth the four themes of GONA: Belonging, Mastery, Interdependence, and Generosity. This training will also provide participants with the opportunity to learn how to facilitate a GONA and use the GONA approach in their work. Whether you’re a tribal community leader, social worker, counselor, school staff, youth worker, organizational leadership, or executive, you will walk away with tools to create an impact in your community.
