CL166a Fundamentals of Community Organizing

Community organizing is key to the success of our neighborhoods. The most sustainable community-building initiatives come from a well-organized, enthusiastic and accountable group of neighborhood residents. In this workshop you will learn how to facilitate capacity building in communities, teaching residents how to take a leadership role in decision making for their neighborhoods. You will also explore techniques for conducting outreach, identifying and recruiting new members, and developing neighborhood activities for groups to work on. You will practice how to do door knocking, conduct house meetings, and make presentations to community groups – that is, how to organize your community!
