SLIDING SCALE REGISTRATION
In July 2022, all VTS programs began utilizing a sliding scale for registration.
We are confident that those who join us are committed to being part of a thoughtful community that is diverse, actively engaged in collective learning, and interested in finding new ways of supporting each other.
We were inspired to use this pricing strategy by Embracing an Equity Sliding Scale.
