Trainings
We train to share wisdom, build trust, and lead courageously together.
Check out our events calendar for information on upcoming trainings.
Showing up is only step one. Training is a critical step for any activist, candidate, organization or campaigner to claim their own power. Through accessing the wisdom within ourselves and generations before us, we can build deep relationships, act creatively, and strategically fight for our values in community.
Trainings at TakeAction Minnesota are aimed at developing the leadership of our members and aligned partners. Our trainings exist as on-ramps into deeper leadership and are essential to our growth as individuals and a community. If you are curious about acting powerfully, you should come to a training.
Commitment to Equity and Accessibility
In order to fully live into our values, our multi-racial Training team is committed to the ongoing process of evolving our training content and practices. We do this because training is one way that we can invest in the leadership of people closest to the challenges in our communities.
To keep our trainings accessible to as many people as possible, our trainings are always free of charge. We train state-wide at each of our hub offices in St. Cloud, Duluth, and St. Paul as well as through online webinars. We engage a practice of radical welcome, and it is common practice for our trainings to include refreshments, content in a variety of mediums, attention to sensory needs, transportation assistance and childcare (by request). Everyone is invited to support the accessibility of training through becoming contributing members of TakeAction Minnesota

Trainings to get you started.
We frequently offer trainings to welcome new people. We start with our values and an understanding of how our values are living in our world, and where and how they are being violated. By offering political education, a validating space to build relationships, and effective skills with powerful next steps, trainings welcome you into the movement for gender, racial, and economic justice.
Trainings to Strengthen Your Leadership
Through deep leadership development trainings, we reflect on our activism with an eye towards our growth as public leaders, such as organizers, community leaders, elected officials and much more. Our leadership trainings focus on the skills we need to act strategically, lead with courage, and build lasting power without burning out. The Public Leadership Institute is a deep-dive leadership training which rotates around the state. We highly recommend leadership trainings for activists looking to take a next step in their leadership, including running for public office.
