TRAINING DESCRIPTIONS:
Intro to Advocacy
The first step to being a civically engaged community member is to vote. Learn how to get all the information you need to successfully vote yourself, and how to help your friends & neighbors vote. Then, take it to the next level and learn how to talk with and influence your elected officials.
Trauma Informed Care
At least 70% of adults in the US have experienced trauma. Learn best practices for building trust & relationships in this context while helping those with firsthand experience in food insecurity claim their power.
