Upcoming Workshops

We offer continued training and professional development opportunities for our volunteer tutors long after completing the initial training. If there is a particular topic you'd like to see us offer a workshop on, please email Steven. 

Workshops are on Zoom or in person; please see the description for specifics. Workshops are designed for current LVCA tutors.

A note for volunteers from other organizations/agencies:
Thank you for your interest. We know many organizations are struggling, so we have no set fee for participation. Instead, we invite you to donate whatever amount seems appropriate for you. We have invested staff time and resources in creating and conducting these training sessions, so whatever you can contribute will help cover our costs.

Presenter: Kristin Clarens, Legal Aid Justice Center

Description: Join Kristin Clarens from Legal Aid Justice Center to learn about possible impacts changes to immigration policy might have on our students and ways we can support them.
