Note: This module requires 2 trainers.
This module was revised in 2016 to incorporate social-emotional learning, character building and Quality Standards for Expanded Learning in California as part of CalSAC's work with the Expanded Learning 360/365 project.

In this training participants will:
- Reflect on what they’ve learned from the previous trainings;
- Define and identify qualities of an ally;
- Identify two strategies to be an ally;
- Commit to being an ally to foster a safe and supportive environment;
- Find a comrade for the journey.
