To accommodate interest in the program, Spokes Hub has moved to an open enrollment model. People enrolled in the program can learn at their own pace through e-learning and live classes. Graduations are hosted 1-2 times a year, and participants are welcome to graduate when they feel ready.

The next Spokes Hub graduation will be happening in the Fall of 2024.

Graduation requirements:
To graduate Spokes Hub you must complete 5 classes:

Class #1: Watch this video: Media Training for Sex Workers
Class #2: Attend an “Advocate Safety” class
