Organizational Training
Local Training
A 1-3 day training conducted at a local facility in the community we are building up. These trainings will both introduce new leaders to the basic concepts of organizing and develop established leaders in outreach, civic engagement, power analysis, and recruitment. These trainings are scheduled on an as-needed basis.
Come back periodically to stay updated on new release dates for training.
National Leadership Training
A 7-day residential training that brings to life the concepts and distributes the tools an effective leader needs. It affords participants the opportunity to reflect on their present and future roles in the public arena. These trainings are offered three times a year.
Upcoming National Training
The next National Leadership Training (NLT) will be held in Hiawatha, Iowa, Sunday, August 20, 2023 through Saturday, August 26, 2023. If you are interested in attending, please schedule a meeting with one of our organizers. You may also register on your own as a non-affiliate. Trainings are not free and assistance can be discussed.
