“Ethical Message Framing” walks through how to state a position clearly, cite sources, and avoid framing that stigmatizes or misleads. You’ll see a plain-spoken before/after on a common topic—first the version that leans on heat, then the revision that anchors in human impact and verifiable facts. We end by showing exactly where to store approved language in your shared drive so staff and volunteers pull the same, current version.

“Misinformation Spike at 4:30pm” puts you in a calm control room moment: a rumor jumps on social right before a community forum. Do you post an immediate correction, call partners first, or address it on stage? Each path shows downstream effects—press inquiries, community sentiment, and staff capacity—so you can practice measured, transparent responses.

“What’s a Contribution?” uses bite-size snippets—a donated venue, an in-kind design service, a volunteer’s personal car—to ask how to record, attribute, and acknowledge each item. You’ll get a plain-language rationale for every answer and a one-paragraph script for courteous follow-ups.

“First 60 Days by Role” adapts to field, comms, data, and compliance. Field learns volunteer care, safety plans, and respectful community outreach; comms covers media coordination and source-cited updates; data reinforces list hygiene and opt-out handling; compliance focuses on filings cadence and documentation habits. Miss a check? A two-minute refresher pops up that evening.

“CivicsGuide” answers policy and process questions fast: ‘How do we disclose this in our report?’ ‘What’s our protocol for third-party event invitations?’ ‘Where are the ADA guidelines for venues?’ It returns short, cited pointers from your approved handbook with copy-ready notes for emails and filings—no scavenger hunts.

“Press Q&A Without the Spin” pairs your spokesperson with a lifelike reporter avatar. You’ll practice acknowledging uncertainty, pointing to public sources, and closing with next steps—delivering clarity without over-promising. Afterward, time-stamped notes highlight the phrases that built trust.

“Campaign Finance in Plain English” focuses on everyday habits—timely deposits, accurate receipts, respectful donor conversations, and clear disclaimers—rather than legal jargon. You’ll sign an attestation, but more importantly, you’ll leave with a pocket checklist for busy event days.

“Debate Night, Steady Hands” simulates press calls, volunteer questions, and partner texts arriving at once. Your job is to keep updates factual, avoid hot takes, and log what you know and don’t yet know. The sim shows media accuracy, staff load, and community trust shifting based on your tone.

“Volunteer Onboarding That Sticks” shows how to turn a 12-minute welcome into a confident first shift: safety, accessibility, who to call, how to log hours, and where to find current materials. We model inclusive language and make room for questions without derailing the day.

“Conflict of Interest Triage” presents anonymized scenarios—vendor overlaps, family ties, partnership requests—and guides your team through a neutral, documented decision. You’ll draft a two-sentence rationale that reads well in daylight.

“Coalition Alignment Sprint” gets partners in a room to agree on shared language, ground rules, and a single calendar. By the end, you’ll have a one-page MOU and a lean process for resolving inevitable bumps without drama.

“Disclosure Bingo” turns good habits into muscle memory. Each square lists a common placement (print, digital, small merchandise). Teams race to make every mock piece unmistakably clear without cluttering the design.
