Thank you for your interest in starting a Sibshop! We are thrilled that you are considering joining the Sibshop family in order to support young brothers and sisters in your community.
- Learn. The first step in launching a Sibshop is to learn more about the Sibshop model by reading our Frequently Asked Questions and the Sibshop Standards of Practice. The Sibshop Standards help assure that when parents send their children to a program that calls itself a “Sibshop” it is a program that reflects the goals and values of the Sibshop model.
- Become Certified. The next step is to complete our Sibshop Facilitator Certification Training. We require at least one member of every Sibshop Team to be certified as a First Generation Sibshop Facilitator by completing our training.
- Register. After you complete the Sibshop Facilitator Certification Training, you will register your Sibshop here at no cost. This is an important step which will include your program in our online directory of registered Sibshops, where families often search for sibling support in their local communities.
- Join. When you register your Sibshop, you will also join the Sibshop Facilitator Forum. Please complete both steps at the same time, only when you are ready to provide dates and details of your first Sibshop.
