Meet the Trainers
The Green Dot trainer team is made up of faculty/staff who volunteer their time and energy to support violence prevention at Charlotte. Our trainer team proudly represents every division at the university.
Become a Green Dot Trainer
The Center for Wellness Promotion invites staff and faculty to join the Green Dot team and become a certified trainer. To become a Green Dot trainer, staff and faculty must participate in a train-the-trainer institute for the national Green Dot college-level curriculum, which is provided by Alteristic.
At Charlotte, we are committed to preventing interpersonal violence and other forms of power-based personal violence including sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. By completing the certification training, you will become a Green Dot Trainer, and serve an active role in violence prevention and creating a safer Charlotte community.
Who should become a Green Dot trainer?
- Faculty and staff at UNC Charlotte can attend a virtual Green Dot Institute to receive their certification in the Green Dot College Strategy.
- Evening and weekend availability is required as many training sessions are requested during this time frame. Trainers must also be available to deliver at least four training sessions each academic year.
- Previous public speaking experience is not required, however the ability and willingness to present in front of an audience is a necessary trait for Green Dot trainers. In addition, while subject matter expertise is not required, it is fully expected that Green Dot trainers will share our commitment to prevent violence, and openly and confidently discuss the issue with different audiences.
