The Freedom Trainers come from a variety of backgrounds and live around the country. We have 8 core trainers that have dedicated their work to working with us, trainers that help out when they can, and trainers from other organizations or independent trainers that work with us.

When Freedom Trainers was founded, we made it our commitment to promote the leadership and representation by the voices least heard in everyday society. Therefore, we have mostly people of color, mostly women and trans folks, a broad spectrum of class backgrounds, LGBTQ and youth trainers.

Another commitment we made to ourselves and our communities is our dedication to community organizing. Each trainer comes from an organizing background with experience learned on-the-ground and through a collective struggle. This means that ultimately, our goal is to offer trainings that facilitate change in our communities when we take the tools we have gained, home.

Since each trainer has her or his own strengths, we always assess which trainer or combination of trainers can offer you the most at any given opportunity. Without a doubt, you will laugh, perhaps cry, but definitely learn much from each individual.
