During the past fiscal year, we were thrilled to have more than 250 registrants for our reframing training series! This fiscal year we are adding additional training opportunities and we hope to have many more of our coalition partners participate in our training. We are also introducing a fee-based model for our training.

Starting on January 1, 2025, Illinois Partners will introduce low introductory rates ranging from $50 to $250 for individuals attending one of our training sessions. We will also introduce rates for organizational training, ranging from $250 to $750. The cost for each session will be based on the time and expertise required to deliver an effective training, including the need for additional facilitators and trainers with lived and professional experience. Our goal is to remain accessible to as many people as possible while ensuring the sustainability of our program. Thanks to all of our coalition partners who responded to our recent survey and shared what they find most valuable in training and how much they would pay for such training.

Financially contributing partners will receive one free training session and a 50% discount on additional training sessions. We will send a discount code that you can use when registering for any of our training sessions. If you would like to learn more about how to become a financially contributing partner, please visit our Coalition page or contact Evan B. Finamore, Senior Manager of Development & Strategic Communications (evan@illinoispartners.org).

We do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone interested in attending our training. A limited number of scholarships will be available for individuals who are not employed or sponsored by an organization. If you have questions or concerns about the cost of our training, or would like to learn more about scholarships, please contact Adela Carlin, Senior Director of Training & Community Partnerships (adela@illinoispartners.org).

If you schedule a training for your organization before December 1, it will be free of charge. Please view our training catalog or contact our Training Manager, Katherine Cavanaugh (katherine@illinoispartners.org) to schedule a training for your organization.

Our team is excited about offering training opportunities that bring together human service professionals from a wide range of fields, geographic regions, perspectives and life experiences. We believe that by working together, we can change narratives, policies and systems to ensure that everyone in Illinois reaches their full potential.

Thank you for your partnership,

Lauren and the Illinois Partners Team
