Inspired by the Occupy movement these trainings are part of a community capacity building effort in the Boston area. The trainings will be facilitated by members of the New England Trainers Network, Alliance of Community Trainers and the Health Justice Working Group of Occupy Boston. The aim is to build the skill sets and confidence of community groups and activists in doing NVDA. Please sign up ahead of time for the trainings to help the trainers plan.
