Learning Communities are a unique opportunity to learn with and from other people seeking to make a difference in their neighborhoods, communities, and country. In the words of a past participant, "It's the best advocacy workshop I've ever attended by a long, long way."

In addition to options listed here, we provide Learning Community experiences tailored to your issue, organization, and/or location. We work with nonprofits, businesses, grassroots coalitions, faith groups, and anyone else interested in being effective, empathetic, and trusted advocates. Contact us to start planning a powerful experience for your team.
