Do you have ideas for connecting with your community, but aren’t sure how to put them into practice?
Are you involved in your community already, but struggling to make things happen?
Does creating a sense of belonging in your community sound appealing to you, but you aren’t yet sure what that might look like or mean for you?
Join us for our eight weeks of community-based learning where together we explore principles, tools, and practices that can help us to take action in our communities!
We meet weekly on Monday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Zoom, starting October 17, for a total of eight weeks. We ask that people be able to attend at least six of the eight weeks, as the material builds off of previous sessions.
If you’d like to get a sense of what the training is like before committing, you can join a taster session we’ll be hosting on Monday, September 26 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
We will once again be learning virtually using Zoom. To support the learning process, we also use Google slides. We’ve found creative ways of making our virtual learning opportunities interactive, participatory, and playful!
In addition to our weekly sessions, learners will have the opportunity for one-on-one mentorship with one of the co-facilitators.
