WORKSHOPS & CLASSES
“Bringing people together to collaborate, learn new skills, and create community change.”
I create workshops, meetings and other gatherings that are transformative for the people involved and for the communities where they live, work, and play. As a skilled connector, I make sure the right people are in the room and then help them learn from each other, gain new skills, envision the changes they want to see, and work together to make it happen. I recruit co-facilitators with diverse voices – particularly immigrants and other community members – to share their stories and insights. My facilitation and training sessions are creative, lively and interactive, so participants can engage fully and connect with new ideas and with each other. My methods are based on my educational philosophy, which is that we learn better together, and we are able to do more together. Depending on the setting, I use games, music, art, poetry, role plays, simulations or other techniques.

Training for Community Health Workers
Using Popular Education and Adult Learning approaches, I provide lively and meaningful training for Community Health Worker Programs from diverse communities. I draw upon my experience as the National Capacity-Building Director for Migrant Health Promotion – in that role, I provided training and technical assistance to organizations developing their own Community Health Worker programs. I also share insights from my prior role as Director of a Community Health Worker Program for migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
