At a time of interlocking crises, we can find hope in knowing that a more sustainable, just, and liberated world is possible. But we won’t get there by accident. If we have any shot at reaching the future we want, then it’s up to us- now- to build the skills and power we need.

Join LCN’s Full Community Organizing Global Workshop this January 25-26 and February 1-2

This workshop is online! Wherever you are, you can apply.

Using the community organizing framework developed by Marshall Ganz & LCN practitioners, this workshop provides a quick dive & understanding of how to build collective agency & people power to scale campaigns and institutions. You will learn the five leadership practices of

1. Public narrative & Storytelling
2. Building relationships
3. Structuring leadership teams
4. Strategizing
5. Action

We also offer a module on Coaching to enable the agency of leaders to find resources and solutions to head, heart and hands challenges.

Whether you’re a civic association, union, advocacy group, social movement, nonprofit/ NGO executives or a grassroots community campaign, this comprehensive Community Organizing workshop is designed for your team!  We also welcome applications from individual leaders who are serious about moving people to collective action, however priority will be given to groups of 5 or 6 participants applying together.

This is an intensive hands-on practice with limited available workshop seats! Participants are guided by a skilled Community Organizing coach in small breakout rooms during the workshop to get real-time feedback on their practice. The learning is authentic as participants work with a real organizing project _ one of their own, or from the organizations they work with. It’s also FUN!
