NCCASA trainers are available to provide training and consulting for organizations working to end sexual violence who would like to incorporate a stronger emergent lens into their work. We are intimately familiar with the many facets and moving pieces of the movement to end sexual violence, and are working to implement the emergent space lens in our own organization, partnerships, and movement work. In addition to expertise in advocacy and violence prevention, our trainers have experience working in systems advocacy, systems spaces, nonprofit organizations, grassroots organizing, and activism.
The following modules are available for “out of the box” delivery. Each training fee includes an initial conversation to determine your organizational needs and goals and ongoing communication and coordination.

Each of the above modules is delivered by three trainers working together, and the fee is $350 per module. Additional consulting is $50 per hour, and may address issues such as navigating systems, fulfilling grant obligations while implementing an emergent space lens, incorporating emergence into your specific anti-violence programming, and how to “push the needle” with key stakeholders.
