Open Call for Small-Group Facilitators |

As the KNN continues to engage with individuals from inside and outside the network, we are seeking volunteers interested in helping facilitate future small-group discussions.
Whether you're an experienced facilitator or would like to learn, we want to hear from you. Volunteer facilitators will encourage inclusive, productive conversations using discussion guides; paraphrase and explore participants' ideas; and report out on key themes.
We anticipate the first (virtual) opportunity in early November, and training will be provided beforehand.
