Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a dialogue moderator with Project Optimist's conversation program: Shades of Purple.

We're holding our dialogue moderator training from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, April 29. It will be online.

We will hold another training later this year. All dialogue moderators will need to be trained by Essential Partners before they can serve in that role.

This is a volunteer role, but we are able to cover some travel costs for in-person events (including mileage reimbursement at 65.5 cents/mile). We have some stipends available for people who want to serve in this position and need financial support to do so.

Please complete the information below. Doing so completes your registration for the training.

We’ve asked demographic information in an effort to train a cross-section of people who mirror the diversity of our state.

Thank you for your participation!
