HIGH FIVE® is Canada’s only quality standard for organizations providing recreation and sport programs to children aged 6 to 12. As an Authorized Provider, the NWTRPA is a partner in delivering HIGH FIVE® across the NWT.
What is HIGH FIVE®?
HIGH FIVE® is Canada’s only quality standard for children’s programs. Before HIGH FIVE®, no standard existed and there was a clear need for an innovative approach to help organizations enhance program quality and provide positive experiences for children, which would remain with them for a lifetime.
How Can I Get Trained?
-
Find A Training – First, find out if there is a training happening in your community, or in a nearby community.
-
Host a Training – If there are no trainings happening near you, why not host your own training. We’ll even assist you with set up and promotion.
-
Become a Trainer – If you’ve already received the base-level HIGH FIVE® training, become certified so that you can teach HIGH FIVE® trainings to others.
What HIGH FIVE® training is available?
Due to COVID-19, in-person trainings are currently on hold. There is one online HIGH FIVE® training available.
