In conjunction with our partners, workshops are provided on a regular basis in our facility. Trainings are offered at a reasonable fee, with scholarship opportunities offered when available. The programming committee solicits feedback from our constituent nonprofit agencies in order to determine future training needs. Please see below for a list of available trainings.
