Agri-Cluster Resilience and Expansion Facilitator Training
The Local Food TDT is offering another round of the Agri-Cluster Resilience and Expansion (ACRE) Facilitator Training in spring 2025 for those that are interested in participating. The ACRE facilitator training provides participants with an understanding of processes and tools that will help you work with a group of agricultural stakeholders that want to develop a project together. While it is largely targeted at an agricultural audience, it could work well with any group that needs to make changes due to a wide range of scenarios, including our Extension volunteer groups (MGs, 4-H, boards) or community groups.
Cost: $60.
There are a few scholarships available for participants from the Local Food Transdisciplinary Team and the Facilitation Team.
Course Schedule: Expect the online content to take about 10-12 hours of time.
Additionally, please hold these dates for live sessions: Welcome Session - Wednesday, Feb. 5th, 10-11:30 a.m.; Mid-point Check In - Wednesday, March 12th, 10-11:30 a.m.; Wrap Up Session - Wednesday, April 9th, 10-11:30 a.m.
