Become a Skilled Listener & Support Sidewalk Talk’s Mission

🌎 Sidewalk Talk is more than just listening—it’s a movement.

We listen to strangers on city sidewalks, creating spaces of connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Why? Because community is medicine but we can’t create community if we cannot listen to one another. We’d love for you to join us.

Our 8-module Listener Training Program gives you everything you need to feel confident, grounded, and prepared to engage in deep, meaningful conversations—while also supporting Sidewalk Talk’s work worldwide.

What You’ll Get When You Donate:

🎥 8 engaging video modules (5 to 15 minutes each)
📖 Guided reflection questions to deepen your practice
🎭 Real-life demos featuring experienced Sidewalk Talk volunteers—and even a listener who sat down with us on the street
💡 Expert interview with the Director of SF Suicide Prevention

What You’ll Learn:

The Art of Deep Listening—why fixing and helping can be disconnecting (Live demo)
How to Listen for Who Someone Truly Is—beyond just their words (Live demo)
Emotions & the Body—how to hold space for big feelings
Setting Boundaries While Listening—staying present without burnout
Handling Suicidal Thoughts & Actions with Confidence

For a minimum donation of just $10 (we recommend $30), you’ll get access to this invaluable training while directly funding the Sidewalk Talk movement. We appreciate any add-ons or monthly donations as this allows us to stay focused on impact work rather than fundraising. Means a lot. Thank you!

This training has been praised by corporate trainers, therapists, and community leaders as one of the most relatable and impactful trainings on listening.
