New Host Kit and Host Trainings: Virtual Letter-Writing Events
Swing Left has built a virtual letter-writing party host kit and guide! We’re helping hosts transition to virtual parties with a variety of resources:
- Virtual Party Host Kit including:
- Detailed guide to hosting and resources for video conferencing
- Resources for writing letters from home, including 2 video recordings:
- Live online trainings:
- Learn how to host virtual events: Wednesday, March 25 at 5pm PT. Register here.
- Learn how to use Zoom video-conference technology for hosting: every weekday morning until the end of April. Register here.
We will also be hosting national letter writing parties so that volunteers and hosts can join these parties and see how they work. We’ll provide more information on the Leader’s call on Thursday.
