Hi Melissa Guadalupe Huertas (she/her)
Application form - Training of Trainers for Reading Wikipedia in the
Classroom.
The application process is much longer. Update it. I opened the
application and went to submit, but the application was canceled due to
various problems. I will not submit.
Thank You
