FAQ
A community is an inclusive, supportive, highly connected group of individuals who have learned to collaborate, play and celebrate well together. A community is more than a cohort, more than a team. A community is a special place of belonging where you feel it is safe to be yourself and to communicate what you really feel.
We offer everything from individual coaching/consulting sessions to culture tune-up programs, to onboarding, rebranding to a full Community Leadership Certification program. Our current focus is on the LIFELINES Program that helps to build a pre-crisis support group, a community, among First Responders.
The Program is ten hours long and is offered in two formats: five 2-hour sessions and two 5-hour sessions. See the scheduled dates at the Dates link.
There is no recording to view to catch up as the Programs constitute an experience as well as training. There is a flow to the experience that runs through out the Program. This is not something you can catch up on.
They are predominantly offered online, via Zoom as there are usually several sessions involved.
No. Once a Cohort is full, it will be removed from the Calendar!
We work with Paramedics, Fire and Police - across agencies, states/provinces and countries! This offers an excellent opportunity to learn from one another and to meet leaders in other areas.
It also means you do not need to assemble a group large enough to form a Cohort but can send your First Responders to the Dates link so they select a time and format that suits them best.
Until the Cohorts on the Calendar have been completed, there is no cost. This is because we are doing a Pilot Study on the Program. The Study will be finished by the end of 2025 after which there will be a fee for the Program.
Yes! EMTs in NJ and PA receive them as well as MD. Several other states are in the process of approving this course for CEUs. Check with your agency to see if it has been approved in your state.

Yes, participants who are present and engaged for all the hours of the Program receive a Community Leadership Certificate from Kalliergo Community Building.
Community leadership is on the cutting edge of leadership as it comprises the ability to build, guide, and maintain a community. Once the group has evolved into a community, it is a powerful problem-solving, collaborative body as it calls on all the wisdom, experience, and diversity of its members and does so in a safe space where people feel free to share perhaps radical ideas. This contributes to the evolution of the organization.
We provide free consultations to discuss issues you face so we can determine whether or not our programs will address your needs.
Onboarding should include a component of community building in order to welcome new members into the culture. Community building also serves as a tune-up/maintenance program for all members of the group.
A corporation can change its signage, its website, its logo and even its name but if it does not address the culture itself, nothing of significance will have changed. Rebranding needs to go deep into organizational culture and this is where Kalliergo programs shine.
