Currently we offer a mini-course on the foundational principles for better messaging and storytelling - Essential Messaging for Animal Care and Well-being.

More training opportunities are in development and will be available soon!

All SPARC trainings are offered on a sliding scale to honor different abilities to pay. We don’t want the price to prevent you from taking part.

We ask organizations and individuals with large budgets to pay at the higher rates to keep the workshop accessible to all. The workshop fee helps keep SPARC and our programs going.

You can find specific prices on the course pages.

Training is a great opportunity to take a deep dive and quickly develop new skills, but making a change is a longer-term effort. That is why SPARC supports all of our trainees through a Community of Practice.

Once training is complete, participants are invited to join SPARC's online community. Here you will have access to new ideas and resources, ongoing support, and opportunities to keep learning and practice new skills.

This is an interactive online training course using the Zoom platform. Come prepared to participate fully, just as you would an in-person training. Please try to connect from a quiet place on a computer. We will send more information and how to join once you have registered for the course.
