After submitting the form you will be contacted by email within 5 business days (excluding holidays), connecting you to the appropriate SAPAC student employee and Program Manager to go over the details of your request.
Requests must be submitted three (3) weeks (21 days) prior to the intended date. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your needs in a shorter time frame, but we will try our best (our requests are handled first come first serve-- depending on the volume of pending requests, the date may need to be rescheduled for a later date).

- Due to the interactive nature of our workshops, we generally recommend group sizes of about 40 students
- Workshop requests require in person planning and preparation meeting(s) (remote meeting options available) to tailor and craft the workshop to be relevant to your community and needs. In order to be able to effectively prepare for your workshop (by your preferred date) this meeting must occur in a timely manner before your requested/preferred workshop date. We appreciate your cooperation in this.
- We will verify that we can provide your workshop only once we have confirmed facilitator availability.
- These workshops are geared towards undergraduate and graduate students, not staff or faculty.
- If your organization is seeking mediation or conflict management the Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) and the Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provide student organization support and can serve as resources.
- At this time we do not provide facilitator training for non-SAPAC facilitators.
- The content of all SAPAC's workshops are owned by SAPAC and are not available for non-SAPAC current volunteers to use outside of their role as a volunteer.
