# Trainer

Some campaign socials may include a 20-30 minute teach-in by a community member or organizer. This is a great way to collectively elevate our skills, to ensure we are taking the time to learn from each other, and to implement best practices. The trainer's responsibilities are as follows:

* [ ] **Agree on a training topic with the organizer.**

  This can be something you feel you excel at, something you recently learned, or a skill or practice you feel knowledgeable about (e.g. canvassing best practices, outreach messaging, recruiting volunteers, leveraging social media, etc.)
* [ ] **Prepare and practice your teach-in before the event.**

  As this will be shared with the larger group, you'll want to make sure you're prepared!
* [ ] **Be sure to include audience participation in your teach-in!** It shouldn’t just be a lecture. 

  Ask the audience questions or include activities.
* [ ] **Send an outline of your training to the organizer.**

  Share this with the organizer at least two days before the event. This gives them a chance to review the material and provide feedback.
* [ ] **Bring any materials you need to execute your workshop/training.**

  For example, if you plan to have attendees write down their thoughts on a particular topic, make sure to bring pens and paper.
* [ ] **Deliver your workshop at an agreed-upon time during the event**. This is typically following announcements.
