Walk With Ease Leader Training
The process for becoming a Walk With Ease (WWE) Program Leader is a bit different than other WIHA programs. Leader Training takes place online. Here's how it works:
Step 1: Learn about the Walk With Ease Program and Leader responsibilities and requirements. Read here.
Step 2: Engage a Program Provider Organization if you are not already affiliated with one. Learn more.
Step 3: Complete the 3-hour online Leader Training. Our experience has shown that this training works best for individuals who are already trained in another evidence-based health promotion program and/or are fitness instructors. If you would like to discuss the online training in further detail, please contact info@wihealthyaging.org

Step 4: Register with WIHA as a WWE Program Leader
It's important that you register with WIHA after you've completed your Leader Training to ensure that you have access to all program support and resources.
