Band Together Training was created to ensure that everyone has access to safe, high-quality training they need to keep themselves and their communities safe. We provide training to everyone, including women and gender-diverse people, Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, People with disabilities and chronic illness, Neurodivergent individuals, People from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and Religious minorities.Â
Our classes are tailored to the students in the room, drawing on experience with the subject matter and in educational principles and research to make sure that the information is as accessible and engaging as possible. We firmly believe that no two classes should be the same, because no two students are the same.
