Thanks so much for your interest! We are currently at capacity for the Apr 29-May 2 training, and would be happy to place you on a waitlist. (We expect to release additional spots by February 1). We'll save your spot for the Homecoming gathering, if you'd like to wait to book your flights until we let you know if you're off the training waitlist.

We've reached max capacity for the event, so if this is your FIRST time filling out the form, please hold off on buying flights until you receive confirmation from us that we've got a spot for you! If this is your SECOND time filling out the form, that's because you've been on our waiting list, and we've held your spot. Proceed with a "Yes" answer for the next question!

Great! Have you bought your flights yet?(Required)

We know it feels fast, but we really want to make sure you’re serious about coming! If you can’t otherwise attend Homecoming, we’re able to offer a limited number of travel stipends – as reimbursements up to $400 to cover air or train travel. If you indicate needing a stipend, we will follow up with you directly.

Dietary and accessibility needs

We strive to host inclusive, accessible experiences that enable all participants to engage fully, including individuals with disabilities, faith or cultural considerations, or any specific access needs. Participation will involve logistics of all kinds — from transportation to/from the airport, hotel, and meeting space; to a full schedule each day; to use of slides and audio-visual media, printed materials; and many things in between. We will do our best to organize the experience responsively with this information in mind.

None

Lactose intolerant

Vegetarian

Vegan

Pescatarian
