Your commitment as a host

To be eligible, the applicant must meet the grant eligibility criteria along with the specific host requirements detailed below.

Requirements:

• To host the workshop, you should expect to commit up to 50 hours of your time, from beginning to end.

  • Expect to participate in on-boarding, training, recruiting participants, running the workshop, and providing outputs to Intersect. To recognize this effort, we expect hosts to specify an amount of ADA (roughly 2,500 ADA) for facilitation.

• You are able to host a day long (6-8 hrs), in-person workshop between August 1 and Oct. 15th.

• You are willing to provide contact information publicly.

• You are willing to work with Intersect’s facilitators to deliver a constitutional workshop with their support.

• You are willing to follow a standardized workshop format.

• You are willing to follow a standardized process to select constitutional delegates and alternates to attend the convention, including the use of a digital voting tool. Intersect will provide a standard tool and process to this end.

• You can enable virtual attendance.

• You will be able to provide final outputs and documentation of your workshop in English.

• Accept constitutional delegate candidacy videos from people who cannot attend the workshop live.

Restrictions:

• Up to 50% of your funding will be available before your constitutional workshop, and will be approved on a case-by-case basis. For example, it can be used to secure the venue.

• A maximum of 5% of the funding may be used for swag.

• Hosts will be selected with consideration to geographical distribution, aiming to distribute workshops across the globe.

• The stipend is not intended to cover travel costs, as these workshops are locally-oriented. Virtual participation should be made possible for those too far away in the region to travel.
