ABOUT THE TRAINING

Black Rock Ranger Training is recognized by Burning Man communities everywhere. Learning the common language of Rangers and receiving the same training as people outside your area, will open the way for you to volunteer at events in neighboring regions.

Training includes active listening, non-confrontational and non-judgmental communication, conflict resolution, mediation, basic emergency response, radio protocol, and provides lots of practice through role-play scenarios. This is an excellent opportunity for good conversations, great connections, and community growth.

Everyone is welcome! (the facebook event is private and restricted to registered attendees. Please contact 2pwylla@gmail.com to be invited to the event page)
