The Central Coast Community Organizing Training is an opportunity for new and emerging organizers, staff at local nonprofits, and grassroots community leaders or activists to learn the essentials of grassroots community organizing. Build the capacity of your organization to form committees of leaders through grassroots organizing, and ensure that your organization’s campaigns center and are led by those most impacted by the problems you’re working to address.
In this training, you will learn to:
- Strengthen your understanding of how grassroots organizing can shift structures of power and injustice
- Implement the concrete skill of relationship building and recruitment via personal visits, house meetings, classroom presentations, tabling, and more
- Be trained in tangible skills including developing strategic campaigns, conducting a power analysis, and crafting persuasive messages
- Gain hands-on experience with door-to-door canvassing and one-on-ones
