2022 Tractor Intensive Registration

This course is open to anyone who experiences gender oppression - namely, cis and trans women, trans men, and Two Spirit, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folks.

Two options for registration: Registration is available for the full course (both days) or just Day One: Intro to Tractors. For safety and the need for one-on-one attention, we are able to offer only 6 spots for the full course that includes Day two: Field Practice. We're offering 15 spots for Day One: Intro to Tractors, which will include thorough education on tractor use, maintenance, and mechanics. For more info, see groundswellcenter.org/workshops

Sliding scale fees:

Full course, both days: $60-325

Day 1: Intro to Tractors $40-160

Consider paying the solidarity option ($60 for full course, $40 for Day 1) if you...

  • Identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color
  • have difficulty affording your basic needs such as food, transportation, medical care, and childcare, and/or don’t always manage to meet these needs
  • are unemployed or have a low income
  • receive public assistance

Consider paying the reduced fee ($150 for full course, $80 for Day 1) if you...

  • can typically afford your basic needs but have little expendable income or savings
  • have significant debt or medical expenses not covered by insurance
  • are supporting children or have other dependents
  • are a senior on a limited, fixed income

Consider paying the full fee ($250 for full course, $130 for Day 1) or full fee + donation ($325 for full course, $160 for Day 1) if you...

  • can comfortably and consistently afford your basic needs
  • own the home you live in
  • have personal savings, investments, retirement accounts, or inherited wealth
  • travel recreationally
  • have access to family money and resources in times of need
  • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.) Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, we ask you to recognize this as a choice
  • would like to contribute towards programs at Groundswell including supporting costs of childcare, transportation, interpretation, and sliding scale options

If you're driving, are you able to offer a spot in your car to someone who needs transportation? This improves access and helps avoid issues with our very limited farm parking. By checking yes, you're consenting to us listing your name, email, and general location in the carpool list in our welcome email for the workshop group.
Do you need any of the following?

Please list the address you will need transportation from if it isn't the same address as above. We will facilitate carpooling among participants.

We will be in touch with you soon in response to these needs, and you can email kimberly@groundswellcenter.org if you have questions.

For food planning purposes, please list any allergies or dietary restrictions. Also list any medical issues you'd like the instructors and course coordinator to be aware of.
