Welcome to the Measures for Justice Onboarding Training Program. 

This course has been designed to support you as a member of the data outreach team. 

We have built this program around 4 key areas: 

1. Introduction (Modules 1; 1.1; 1.2 and 2):  

Jerome Deroy, CEO of Narativ, the company that created this course, and Caroline Nobo Sarnoff, former Director of Data Outreach at Measures for Justice, discuss the role of the data outreach team and the contents of this training. Additionally, you will be introduced to Jennie Brooks, Data Outreach Manager, and Amy Bach, Executive Director & President of Measures for Justice. 

2. What to say about Measures for Justice (Modules 3 through 14): 

Being consistent in the way you describe Measures for Justice, its data portal and how you can help stakeholders is critical to the success of the organization. These modules go over the main messages to convey as a data outreach member. 

3. Real-world stories from the MFJ data outreach team (Modules 15 through 26): 

Caroline Nobo Sarnoff, Jennie Brooks and Amy Bach have recorded several stories of real-world situations they encountered doing their job. We have derived lessons you can learn from these situations because it's very likely that you will encounter versions of these. 

4. Personalizing the message (Modules 27 through 29): 

The course ends with you learning how to respond to certain questions that you're likely to be asked in the field. Jerome Deroy, CEO of Narativ, a storytelling consultancy that has been with Measures for Justice since its inception, will guide you on how to craft your own personalized answers. 

Below is the curriculum breakdown module by module. 

In each module, you will see: 

- A summary of the main content

- A video 

- Lessons 

- Assignments and quizzes
