Learn basic and advanced skills in Google Sheets and how to apply them to your organizing at this free, in-person training!
We'll provide demos for the group, pausing for questions and practice activities to test what you've learned. At the end, participants will be given the final project: A spreadsheet (DSA organizing themed!) to transform using the skills they've learned.
