January Organizing Training: Nights and Weekends

Too often when we try to address problems in our community, we end up stuck in cycles that can drain energy and don’t move us forward. Maybe we get trapped endlessly researching and analyzing, maybe we struggle to tell our story in a way that compels others to join us, and sometimes we just don’t even know where to start. Bring your favorite co-conspirators and join our diverse group of organizations for a week of community organizing training that will take us from the basics of power analysis and choosing an issue all the way to crafting an issue campaign, filling your toolbox with effective strategies and methods that will help you and your communities win concrete improvements in people’s lives. This training will serve both seasoned organizers as well as those who are brand new to using an organizing lens to work for change.

After many requests to offer a schedule that accommodates those who work a typical 9-5 job, this community organizing training has been adapted from our typical week-long-retreat style training schedule.  Although the sessions are spread over many days, each session will build on the last, so we require those who register to commit to attending all sessions. Please email Pastor Melissa Pohlman if interested in registering.
