What is a webinar? 
A webinar is a conference call combined with an online presentation. The online component allows for interaction through live polling and live chat. Once you register, we'll send you login and call-in information.

What do I need to participate?
To participate in the conference call part, you just need your phone. If you want to join the online event, you'll need a computer or mobile device with internet access. We recommend you plan to log in a bit early and test your software ahead of time to make sure you have everything you need to view the webinar. Along with the login details, we'll send you info so you can test your system.

Does it cost anything?
The online portion is free. To participate in the conference call, the standard call-in option will cost one hour of a U.S. long distance phone call. We understand this can present a hardship for some people and we are committed to making these opportunities accessible to all. If you want a toll-free option, email the NCC Poverty Initiative and they will send it to you.  shantha@nccendpoverty.org
