School-Based Training Grants
IYI partners with school districts to deliver professional development opportunities that are accessible to school-based staff who often have limited access to IYI trainings due to scheduling conflicts during the school day.
Through this initiative, schools can receive funding to bring in a professional, vetted speaker or trainer to lead a session on a topic aligned with the district’s mission and needs. These trainings are intended to build staff capacity and enhance services to students.
As part of the training, an IYI Outreach Manager will provide a brief overview of IYI services and share a call to action for upcoming opportunities and resources.
Funding Amount: $500 per training to cover or help cover the cost of the speaker/trainer.
- Mental Health and Resilience
- Conscious Discipline
- TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention)
- Renewal/Burnout
- Restorative Practices for Vaping
- Youth Mental Health First Aid
- Brain Architecture Game
- Suicide Prevention
Grants will be reviewed on a rolling basis for trainings occurring between August 2025 and June 2026. Early submission is encouraged, as funding is limited.
- Grants are limited to one per school district per IYI fiscal year.
- Each grant is intended to support one professional development opportunity for a district-wide training (preference given to trainings that will cover 100+ staff)
