The Training & Workshop Initiative provides participants with opportunities to deepen their understanding of community needs through educational and skill-building experiences. These experiences are designed to increase awareness of the social, economic, and systemic factors that impact individuals and communities while equipping participants with the knowledge and skills needed to engage in meaningful service.
Opportunities may include workshops, panel discussions, volunteer orientations, poverty simulations, museum exhibits, podcasts, videos, books, and other educational resources that explore community disparities, public policies, and issues affecting the populations served by local organizations.
Participants may also engage in agency-led trainings that provide context, best practices, and practical skills for effective community engagement. Through these experiences, individuals gain a stronger understanding of community challenges and develop the capacity to serve with greater empathy, knowledge, and impact.

- skill-building trainings or orientations hosted by community agencies (e.g. volunteer orientations)
