Training will include a combination of mandatory online self-paced training ahead of time and group training/preparation at the Embassy Suites on the afternoon of Monday, February 27. We will also be hosting a virtual Zoom meeting earlier in the month of February for new or returning advocates.

Agenda: (specific times will be shared closer to the event)

• Monday, February 27th: Afternoon training and reception with light snacks
• Tuesday, February 28th: Meetings at Capitol Hill

Scholarships

Scholarships (up to $500 per advocate) are available for individuals, families, self-advocates, or siblings who have not previously attended a NFXF Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. or advocates who might not otherwise be able to attend due to limited financial resources.
