Digital: “Using Digital Outreach to Engage with Your Organization”: In this digital training, trainees learn effective digital organizing concepts, connect online engagement with in-person organizing, and practice writing a call to action using digital tools.

Fundraising: “Raising Money for Your Organization”: In this fundraising training, trainees analyze how to rolodex, organize, and prioritize their organization’s donor list, learn components of fundraising events, and practice making a hard ask.
