This past weekend 50 educators gathered together at IslandWood on Bainbridge Island (WA) to learn from some of the best instructors of the Fight the Fear Campaign. This 2-day "Teach the Teachers" Workshop was funded entirely by Brandi Carlile's Looking Out Foundation. As a result of this intensive training, these educators can now take what they learned back into their schools and communities to help youth feel more confident, strong, empowered and safe.
Thank you to Melinda Johnson and all the educators who attended!
