Summer Training Series
Civil rights leader Ella J. Baker, labor leader Dolores Huerta, and Rabbi Sharon Brous knew that behind every great act of justice was a community of people working together sustaining the effort, sharing in the joy, and welcoming new members to the team.
If you're looking to build or rejuvenate your team, come and join us—leaders from across Maryland—for a summer training series designed to help develop the skills needed to lead effective teams working towards justice. During the training, you will learn how to build a "core team," a team that connects your congregation or community to our network and helps achieve your mission, while making our work fun and effective.
