Peacekeeper Training
Led by Eldon Renner and Rachel Castor, this session will teach proven de-escalation tactics. Whether you’re volunteering at Sandpoint Pride or supporting other important local gatherings, these skills—and the people who carry them—are essential for creating safe, joyful events. Even if you have received previous Peacekeeper training, this is an important opportunity to recommit ourselves to de-escalation practices and build a sense of cohesion amongst our volunteer force.
