Sign up for Educopia's Collective Decision Making Workshop [23 June 2026, 1 - 2:30 pm ET]

2026-06-02T11:36:40-04:00

under-resourced, volunteer-driven, or navigating significant transition. We
care deeply about doing this work equitably, and yet we often lack the
formal training or organizational infrastructure [...]
