Register for a WorkshopEvery IntellectPath Event Is Designed With You in Mind
Multilingual Access
Interpretation is available in Somali. Materials are provided in participants’ home languages whenever possible.
Welcoming Spaces
Events are held in community-based locations such as schools, libraries, and community centers that are familiar and accessible to the families we serve.
Practical & Actionable
Every session ends with concrete takeaways — a tool, a checklist, or a next step so participants leave with something they can use immediately, not just information to remember.
Community-Centered
Our events are not lectures, they are conversations. Participants shape the discussion, share their experiences, and build relationships with peers who share similar journeys.
Bring IntellectPath to Your Community
Interested in bringing an IntellectPath workshop, training, or community event to your district, school, or community center? We partner with organizations across Minnesota to deliver culturally responsive programming where families already gather.
We can customize any of our programs for your specific community including language, audience, format, and goals. Whether you need a one-time orientation session or a multi-month engagement series, we will work with you to design something that fits.
