Year to year, the specific offerings may vary. Our aim is to activate and engage givers in their learning journeys, offering content that will help Partners reflect on both their practices and their values as givers. With our conviction that learning is often internalized best when paired with doing, we offer these workshops and learning sessions whenever possible in concert with other programming focused on practice.
