IndigenizeSNAC Event Series
Kicking Off July 16, 1-3 pm EST!
Our Summer and Fall 2025 SNACSchool events are part of a series aiming to IndigenizeSNAC! This is a grant funded initiative hosted at the University of Maryland College Park (read more about the project HERE). In addition to helping us Indigenize the SNACSchool program, the grant will allow us to hire a full-time SNAC Trainer who will be able to help us with updated the existing SNACSchool program in general, so the events below have two tracks: The Indigenous Track and the Standard Track. Registration for the November 14th hybrid event are not yet open while we finalize details, but we encourage you to save the date for attendance virtually OR in-person in the DC area from 11am-5pm EST!
