Please reach out to training@midwestacademy.com if you have any concerns about whether this is the training for you!

Timing:

  • 4 day training: August 14-17, 2023
  • Daily timing: 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM Central Time -- including a 45 minute break for lunch, plus other breaks throughout. Feel free to snack and do your thing - we are all in this together!
  • Optional Happy/Coffee Hours: We will have an update on additional, optional discussion opportunities - expect more information after registration.

Cost:

We are offering a sliding scale for these online trainings because we want them to be accessible to everyone.  

During registration, you will be asked to select your organizational budget. The amount you will be charged is displayed there as well.

After registration, you will receive TWO emails - one automatically from Action Network; one from Midwest Academy with your invoice and a payment link (that one might take a few business days).

Other Details:

  • We will cap this training at 25 people. Expect to participate in discussions in the full group as well as in breakout rooms. You'll be with fellow alumni!
  • Shortly before the training, you will receive an email with some more details - including the Zoom link, final agenda, and a brief participant list (first name, org, role, and state for those who consented).

If you have ANY questions or concerns, or to be added to our waitlist, please reach out to us: training@midwestacademy.com

Auto-captions and slides are always available. Please let us know any other access needs - interpretation/translation, ASL, CART, low-vision/screenreader-friendly materials, etc. - in our "accommodations" question.
