Get Started!

All new programs enrolling in Learn & Grow will begin their journey by joining a cohort of their peers.

In addition to peer-to-peer learning, other benefits include classroom and administrative technical assistance and coaching, training hours for program administrators, access to threadTools, and more.

The next cohorts for new programs will be:

  • Tuesday and Wednesday, March 3-4, 2026, 6:30 – 8 pm
