Applications are now open for the next available session (click here for next available session). We have a limited number of spots available because this is a cohort-based training – which means that we want to ensure that participants are able to connect to one another and build a community during the Program. Once you have completed either the regular application or scholarship application (no need to do both), hit Submit and you’re all set. 

We review regular applications on a weekly basis and, if you’re accepted, you will be emailed instructions for completing your payment and finalizing your registration.  

If you are not accepted, you will be emailed. But don’t be discouraged! There are many more opportunities to engage. 

We will review scholarship applications throughout the month but won’t make final selections until 30 days before training starts.
