This course has already taken place.

Do you have a desire to step up and fight for a better, fairer, more just world? This workshop is for you.

This in-person workshop equips organizers to apply five core leadership practices:

  • Telling your story to share your own leadership journey, connect with your people, and foster shared purpose
  • Planning an effective team structure that scales up as your movement grows
  • Building intentional relationships rooted in shared values
  • Developing realistic strategies based in a substantive power analysis
  • Designing campaign tactics and timelines to grow your capacity while reaching your goals

You will learn through a combination of lectures and practice in small groups.

You will work with an experienced organizer, who will facilitate your group and help you plan your organizing project. You will finish the course ready to tell your story, with a developed organizing statement, and tools to plan your organizing project's strategy and tactics.

After completing the training, you will receive a certificate in Organizing for Social Change from the Institute for Change Leaders.
