Training
Sharpen your skills and inspire action with our valuable resources. Together, let's build a world free of animal exploitation.
We at We The Free believe in constantly improving our animal advocacy skills. One way we do this is by offering comprehensive training sessions for our volunteers.
Let's face it, advocating for animals can be tough. We've all heard the "plants feel pain" or "lions eat zebras" lines used to dismiss the reality of animal suffering. But what if instead of getting bogged down in arguments, we focused on helping people connect with their own values and take action towards a world free of animal exploitation?
We The Free offers a wealth of resources, constantly updated, to empower you in this journey. Stay connected with us on Facebook and Instagram for upcoming live trainings, subscribe to our mailing list for new learning materials, and explore the valuable resources below - all of which are free!

A complete game changer for my outreach conversations. I used to head into events geared up for a confrontation, but now I feel much more relaxed and I have more effective conversations.
