Finding & Reading the Law

A skills-building training for changemakers

In a rapidly shifting political landscape, changemakers need to be equipped to interpret the law and influence policy. Legal knowledge isn’t just technical — it’s transformational. We’ve seen firsthand how the ability to find, read, and understand the law empowers practitioners to drive meaningful, lasting change.

Join us for Finding & Reading the Law, a live virtual training designed to improve your legal knowledge, build authentic, real-time connections with peers that spark insight and growth, and receive practical resources from seasoned facilitators.
