Would you like to teach a class, hold a workshop or give a talk on a subject you think people would find interesting? Longmont Public Media would love to host you! We encourage all our members to teach. Everyone knows enough about something to teach a class, give a workshop or give a talk on something. You don't need to be a Longmont Public Media member to use the space if it's something of value and that fits with our mission and subject areas.&#x20;

## How to Teach a class at Longmont Public Media

Interested in teaching a class at LPM? Here's how it works:

1. **Schedule a short meeting with us.** We'll chat about your class idea, answer any questions, and make sure it's a great fit for our community.
2. **Send us your class details.** After the meeting, you'll provide:
   * Class title
   * Description (make it interesting! Cover what the topic is, what you'll be doing, and what attendees will walk away with)
   * Preferred days and times
   * Whether it's a one-time or recurring class
3. **We'll take it from there.** LPM staff will add your class to our event calendar and get it in front of our community.
