Due to the success of our Self-Directed Learning program\, we are in need of additional support in reviewing participants’ homework (“Growthwork”) and offering constructive and meaningful feedback to encourage their progression. \nCorrespondence Volunteer Gatherings are a time to come together virtually with like-minded community members\, connect with participants on their journey with FTC\, and empower others with acceptance and compassion. If this sounds like a rewarding experience to you\, please submit your application through the button below. \nYou also have the option to read at your own pace as your time permits. \nWe hope to see you there! \nDate: Saturday\, March 28\, 2026\nTime: 9:30am – 3:30pm PT\nTuition: Free!\nPrerequisites: Volunteers must complete and submit an application\, have access to Google Drive\, and have an active Gmail account. No previous experience is required; we will provide training.[/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h4″ border_radius=”20″ button_color=”extra-color-1″ text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”center” alignment_phone=”center” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”APPLY NOW” url=”https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ6z-4mZRHbNLBHRrB1seYuXyaCmmsjW-gGDiNvf-t8Dfl2Q/viewform” margin_top=”30″ padding_top=”20″ padding_right=”40″ padding_bottom=”20″ padding_left=”40″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
