MAASIN Workshops

MAASIN offers educational workshops designed to foster equity, safety, and inclusion in the marching arts. Led by knowledgeable members with lived experience and professional expertise, our workshops provide organizations, staff, and performers with the tools to create more inclusive and supportive environments.

We believe education should be accessible to all. While we encourage a recommended donation of $200 to compensate facilitators and support MAASIN’s initiatives, we also offer sliding-scale and free workshop options to ensure that cost is never a barrier.
