People, Power, Change: June 2025

People, Power, Change: June 2025

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

The People, Power, Change workshop series is designed to help anyone learn how to make a difference by organizing their communities.

Based on the work of Marshall Ganz, this in-person workshop develops five core leadership practices:

  • Tell your story to share your own leadership journey, connect with your people, and foster shared purpose
  • Develop an effective structure that scales up as your movement grows
  • Build intentional relationships rooted in shared values
  • Develop realistic strategies based in a meaningful power analysis
  • Design campaign tactics that grow your capacity while reaching for your goals

You will learn through lectures and small group activities that will allow you to practice the skills we teach.

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.
