This worksheet helps you get started on looking at your activities, projects, or campaigns, through the lens of the people power change framework and the five leadership practices of organizing.

New to organizing—or trying to assess where your campaign stands?

Use this reflection worksheet to evaluate your campaign using the People Power Change framework and the five core leadership practices of organizing: shared story, shared relationship, shared structure, shared strategy, and shared measurable action.

This tool will help you identify where you’re the strongest and where to focus to build greater power for change.

We suggest completing this worksheet with your teammates and exploring next steps together—this conversation can spark clarity, alignment, and action.
