Guides & Workshops

Training for Change specializes in preparing trainers to create a ripple effect in quality activist training. It supports activists, but it challenges them to step fully into their power. The goal is to support an organization to carry on its skills without them— passing on those skills learned to others. Training for Change uses a direct education training approach that liberates participants, helping them break limiting patterns and become more effective change agents. Among the workshops offered are:

• Training of Trainers

  • Super-T: A “Super Training” for Social-Action Trainers

  • Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud—an experiential workshop by and for African Americans to help them give/receive support to each other.
  • Class Matters—a workshop to give activists a hand with the mystery of class dynamics.
  • Whites Confronting Racism—a workshop for white people searching for a way to begin their work for racial justice or for those who already do anti-racism work and want to enhance their skills.
