Foundations for Farming Training for Trainers Events:
This is specifically for people who feel called to impact others by hosting their own trainings in their own community or through existing mission or ministry work. This is 'training for trainers' and will be limited to a small group so that we will be able to cater it to the specific needs and situations of the students attending. We will need a minimum of 5 adult attendees and maximum of 10. We plan to offer these training multiple times throughout the year and students will need to attend one of the subsequent scheduled trainings if the registration for this training is too small or full. Follow up support will be available as graduates host their own trainings in the coming months.
