About This Training
The purpose of Weeklong Leadership Training is to deeply develop grassroots and community leaders to step into public leadership through people-centered power organizations. Trainings combine political education around multiracial solidarity across class and race; deep, transformative reflection on experiences of power and powerlessness; concrete public skills such as relationship building, team building, powerful invitations, and strategic action in the public arena. Participants will complete training with clarity on their personal purpose and mission and a plan to build power with others.
This training is designed for newer organizers and member leaders. Participants should arrive at weeklong training having had a deep and rigorous conversation with an organizer or top leader about themselves, their own sense of purpose, and their public leadership challenges. Participants should come prepared to reflect on themselves, knowing that they will be challenged to decide to become a more powerful public person.
Who should attend this training:
- Emerging grassroots community leaders who are ready to take responsibility for exploring their own leadership
- New and mid-level organizers
- Senior leaders who are looking for a renewed connection to their interest, purpose, and path
- Leaders in faith, community, labor, and other sectors who want to grow in their ability to organize with others for large-scale impact
