Leadership for Community Organising is training for community leaders - including you!

Community leadership is a skill that can be taught. From gaining followers in real life, to running effective community campaigns, community organising is a skill that can help people strategize and work together for social change.

Led by Denisse Sandoval, a community organiser from New York, this training will help build the skills of existing and emerging community leaders, to mobilise community power and make change.

If you want to learn more about community leadership and how to create social change along with others, this training is for you.

No prior experience is necessary - if you are interested in getting involved, you are welcome to join us.
