Our Team Facilitators are volunteers who make a direct impact on the lives of our clients by supporting them through the training of their service dog as they complete our training program.
As an Atlas Team Facilitator benefit from significant free training both through online courses, a multi-session workshop, and continuous mentorship from professional service dog trainers.
They then work with our clients hands-on a couple of hours every other week to help them train their disability tasks, work in public with their dog, and learn to self-advocate as service dog handlers.
You don't have to be a professional dog trainer, though you should have experience working with dogs or least training your own pet dogs. Experience in healthcare or as an educator of adults or children is extremely helpful.
Team Facilitators are needed in locations across the US. Especially around Los Angeles, Bay area, Portland OR, and Denver, CO.
Applications for our next cohort close May 8th! You can apply directly here: https://www.tfaforms.com/4870710
