Special All-Day Trainings
FaithAction also offers two special all day (5 hour) trainings:
- Building a Community ID Program – for communities seeking to replicate the FaithAction ID drive and dialogue model and join the FaithAction ID network. Sessions include: communicating the purpose, logistics, and impact of a community ID program, learning the stages of an ID drive, and ways to expand a community ID program.
- Serving Immigrants Training – for community organizations seeking to better serve, educate, and connect with their newest immigrant neighbors. This training, funded through a NC Council for Women FVPSA grant, especially focuses on how to prevent family violence within immigrant communities.
