WIR has convened skill-building workshops for women seeking practical, hands-on education in the topics that matter most to their operations and lives on the land.
Led by seasoned facilitators in intimate group settings, these gatherings were designed with one goal in mind: that you leave feeling more confident in your skills and connected to a community of women you can lean on long after the event ends.
Today, WIR channels direct support for skill-building and community-led projects through our Community Regrant Initiative.
