Act UP: this training teaches individuals and groups how to be a voice in their community. This workshop includes content on delivering verbal messages in public meetings such as town hall, school committee, and other settings. Also included is information on writing for public audiences, such as authoring a Letter to the Editor for local and national newspapers. Create grassroots activities and community leadership.
Build UP: this workshop/facilitation focuses on community-based discussions to bring about creative and productive dialogue and solutions. Collaborative discussion relies upon relationship building and engagement from impacted parties, as well as the willingness to explore ideas through a different lens. Working with Amy, a trained discussion coach, allows a new approach to facilitation and idea generation to get unstuck and build a community-oriented approach.
