The Fall Training Institute provides members with practical information and guidance on timely issues affecting the NAACP and the communities it serves. Led by attorneys from the Office of the General Counsel, these trainings cover key legal topics, emerging issues, and important rights and responsibilities, equipping members with the knowledge and tools to effectively advocate for civil rights and advance the NAACP’s mission.
