According to the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), all youth-serving workers on staff should receive training sufficient to meet the core competencies of youth workers. These core competencies are detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announcements for the Basic Center Program (BCP), Street Outreach Program (SOP), Transitional Living Program (TLP), and Maternity Group Home (MGH). Many of these topics are addressed in the eLearning selections available to RHY grantees. Webinars, TA Clinics, and conference sessions are also designed to address these topics. Click on the link below to download the updated RHY Core Competencies Training document (formerly known as FYSB Required Trainings).

The designated topics are in addition to any training areas required by your organization (universal precautions, confidentiality, CPR, etc.). Employee files should document that each of the core competency training topics has been addressed either via orientation or ongoing training opportunities. If you need help clarifying the required topics for your grant, contact RHYTTAC at [email protected].
