Application: Super-T (United States) | Training for Change Powerbase

This application is for applicants who live in the United States. If you are applying from outside the U.S., click here for the international application.

The APPLICATION DEADLINE is March 1, 2019. We aim to confirm participants at least two weeks after this deadline. You will be notified whether you are accepted, put on the waitlist or denied. We're mindful that folks need time to book travel, and we'll follow up about the acceptance process as we are able. Please don't book travel or accommodations until we confirm registration.

We’re committed to accepting a diverse group for each training and to support folks with less access to resources. People of color, working-class folks, and folks from less-resourced organizations are encouraged to apply. We also aim to accept people who are already working with a group, project, or organization where they can apply what they learn back home. If you’d prefer to apply by phone instead of online, please call +1 267-289-2288.

The whole series of training starts May 31st and ends June 16th, 2019. You can attend the trainings on their own or as a whole package.

Applications can't be saved in the middle; they must be completed in one sitting. Submitting well before the deadline is always a great idea in case of technical difficulties. We also recommend writing short answer responses outside this form where you can save your work, then pasting them in when you are ready to submit. If you have a question please email supert@trainingforchange.org.
