Build a training program that scales your impact
For movements to thrive, we must cultivate a new generation of confident and capable leaders.
The scale of our impact relies not only on our own skill but on our ability to mobilize others to take action.
Do These Challenges Sound Familiar?
- How can I ensure my training boosts participants’ confidence and equips them with the skills they need to take bold action?
- How can I get people aligned around a common approach?
- How can I get my team to follow through on commitments and provide supportive accountability?
- How can I make my trainings more interactive and effective at driving action?
- How can I improve as a facilitator to ensure that I’m developing new leaders?
The secret to success? Becoming a Transformative Trainer—a leader who inspires others to lead and act.

We have compiled what we’ve learned in 25 years into a potent 8-week program that gets you results. By offering it to a group, we are able to provide support at a lower rate than our customized consulting. In doing so, we hope to make these tools available to a wider group of leaders who are using training and education for social change.
The online option includes four online sessions on Thursdays from 10am-12pm Pacific // 12pm-2pm Central // 1pm-3pm Eastern choose one:

Anyone who wants to use training and education for social change can participate in the 8-week cohort program. For best results, we recommend that participants apply these tools for use with the community rather than a classroom.
To help you succeed, we highly recommend that attendees are sponsored by an organization. If you need help getting this opportunity approved, please indicate this in your application. We may make exceptions for community activists and consultants who are working for social change on a case-by-case basis.
We understand the challenges that come with facilitation. Our program is designed to address these fears and help you build the confidence needed to lead effectively. We often hear participants share that this program has increased their confidence as a trainer.
We highly encourage participants to attend all sessions. But we get it—sometimes life happens. We will send all materials and a video recording of each session to participants to make sure you can follow along even if you are unable to make a session.
This is an opportunity to get equipped to create and lead your own training on the issues you work on every day. If you are interested in having us design and lead a training for your group, we recommend sending us an email so we can better understand your needs.
Yes. 100%. If you don’t think you got the full value of the program, you get a full refund.
You shouldn’t. We have experience working with thousands of people all over the United States and Latin America to design, lead, and plan learning events. But we don’t know what’s happening on the ground for you. That’s why we are supporting YOU to take the lead. Our goal is to leave you in a better position than you were before, so you can solve the next challenges on your own (but we hope you call us!).
