Our
Training and Technical Assistance Program
The
National Women's Alliance provides training and technical
assistance to community-based and grassroots organizations;
colleges and universities; direct service providers and advocates;
and other groups working to address issues of violence against
women, racial and economic justice, reproductive and sexual
health, and the leadership development of women and girls
of color.
Our Training and Technical Assistance program aims to strengthen
the capacity of community-based and grassroots organizations;
service providers and advocates; community activists and leaders
to effectively integrate an intersectional analysis and approach
into their social justice work, community organizing and advocacy
efforts.
How it works:
We provide two hour, half-day, full day and two day trainings
for community-based and grassroots organizations, direct service
providers, and advocates seeking to build their capacity to
effectively engage and serve women/girls and communities of
color.
We also provide on-going one-on-one technical assistance to
community-based and grassroots organizations. We can help
your organization with local organizing campaigns and efforts;
help bring national attention to issues happening in your
community; link you to other progressive organizations across
the country working on similar issues; and provide information
and resources. See below for request forms.
