ProStart Regional Workshops 2026

Regional Workshops 2026

The FRLAEF will be offering nine Regional Workshops this fall. ProStart teachers may bring up to five students to each event. There is no fee to attend a Regional Workshop. Lunch will be provided for all attendees at each event. Chef coats will be given to all participating ProStart students at each event. Travel to and from the event is on your own.

Each event will begin at 8:30 am and conclude at 2:00 pm.

If Regional Workshops reach maximum capacity prior to the deadline, all subsequent schools will be given a link to get on the Waiting List.

Please do not register for more than one Regional Workshop. We only have space for first-time attendees at each event, so register for the event you are most interested in attending. If you are interested in another event, let us know and we will send you the link for the Waiting List.
