SUMMARY:Ripple Effects Mapping Facilitator Training
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the WV Prevention Research Center\, The Center for Rural Health Development is pleased to invite you to the upcoming Ripple Effects Mapping Facilitator Training. \nTo register\, complete the form at the bottom of this webpage. Advanced registration is required to ensure adequate materials are prepared. On-site registration will NOT be available. Registration closes Friday\, October 23\, 2026. \nWhat is Ripple Effects Mapping? \nRipple Effects Mapping (REM) is a participatory\, story-driven process that helps groups understand the effects of their work\, including the results they may have anticipated and the resulting ripples they didn’t expect. REM is built on appreciative inquiry and collaborative visual mapping\, offering a grounded way to explore real experiences\, surface strengths\, and make sense of complex or evolving initiatives. Through storytelling and impact mapping in a group setting\, it provides an understanding of program or project impact by uncovering the unique ways community initiatives have made a difference. REM is commonly used as an evaluation and strategic planning tool\, especially related to grant and philanthropic funding. In fact\, several WV-based funders use REM for grant evaluation. \nHow can REM training benefit your work?\n\nGAIN INSIGHTS: Evaluate the scope of project or program impact.\nINFORM DECISION-MAKING: Use REM findings to shape future initiatives.\nSHOWCASE SUCCESS: Highlight your achievements and contributions.\n\nVisit this link for a short video example of a REM session. \nWhat to Expect:\nTwo full days of experiential in-person training on planning and hosting REM sessions with hands-on REM session facilitation practice that will enable you to conduct REM in your community. \nThe training will run from 10am to 5pm on October 28th and 10am to 4pm on October 29th\, with lunch and refreshments provided both days. Because this training provides a hands-on\, practice-based learning experience\, attendees will find this training to be most informative if they attend the entirety of the training. \nCost:\nThe registration fee is $150/person and includes the two-day training\, training materials\, and lunch and refreshments on both days. To register\, complete the form below. Space is very limited for this training so registration may close early if capacity is reached. \nLocation:\nKanawha County Library: 123 Capitol St. Charleston\, WV \nLodging:\nFor those traveling in from out of town\, a room block is being held at the Four Points by Sheraton Charleston at a rate of $115.00 per night.
