Important: 2026 Facilitator Program Status

The 2026 Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program has NOT officially been announced, and registrations are currently closed. Official cohorts, referral link submissions, and facilitator codes are not live yet.

The guidelines, registration forms, referral pathways, and target milestones listed on this dashboard represent the previous official cohort configurations. We have intentionally kept this platform fully active as a preparation sandbox. Aspiring student facilitators and campus leads can study the curriculum demands, plan learning pathways, and complete matching skill badges now, ensuring their campus communities can hit the ground running with maximum points efficiency the moment Google officially opens the 2026 cohort enrollment!

🎓 Arcade Facilitator Program

The Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program is for community leaders who want to guide learners through the Arcade challenges. Facilitators earn bonus Arcade Points based on milestone completions, adding to their regular Arcade Points total. These bonus points help facilitators qualify for higher swag tiers and exclusive rewards.
