Annual Events & Training Schedule

VLCT offers a variety of trainings throughout the year. This listing is an overview that is subject to change. For details of currently available trainings and to register, please visit vlct.org/events. Most events are posted on the events calendar four or more weeks before they take place. Many of our trainings are also available on demand in the VLCT Store. 

On Demand Training

Most training in 2026 remains free thanks to grants from PACIF and the USDA. Select trainings have a registration fee to help cover costs that aren’t eligible for grant funding. Please check the individual event page when registration opens for more information.
