We know taking the next steps after a Launch Meeting can come with a myriad of emotions; we are here with and for you!
As you pray, discern, and gather the necessary information to choose the right licensing route, we’d love to provide some resources to help.

Your next step is to attend an Orientation with a licensing agency!
Below you’ll find the email, phone number, or inquiry form of who to contact for an orientation. Take that first step and attend an orientation. Remember, if there are multiple ways to get licensed in your county, you can attend multiple orientations!
If you don’t hear back right away, continue to followup. Think the best of those recruiters you’re contacting! They want to hear from you; they’re working hard and may be under resourced. So be like the persistent widow (Luke 18), keep reaching out until you hear back from someone.
