Who is part of your group and who isn't? How do you make decisions? Is it
working for you? This workshop explores how small groups can establish and
improve systems to integrate people into the group and effectively make
decisions. Topics covered include: membership types and different styles of
decision-making, from hierarchy to consensus. This is essential information
for any group, whether just starting out or well-established.

This workshop is designed to help you and your organization learn valuable
steps, tools, techniques and approaches that will help you effectively plan
and execute a winning campaign plan to help you acheive your policy goals.

Participants will learn the advanced components of a campaign, how to
choose a strategic campaign goal, choosing strategies and tactics that suit
your goals, working with individuals and groups to build influence, and
understanding the key ingredients of successful campaigns. It's recommended
that multiple people from one group attend the workshop as there will be
ample time to strategize to achieve your goals.

Why give?
We provide approximately 100 scholarships each year.  Your support helps us
keep our workshops affordable and allows us to continue to offer
scholarships to those who cannot afford to attend.

We share best practices.  We collect and share hundreds of best practice
tools and resources from around the world to help skill-up and empower our
community.

We help you solve problems.  Our colleges, universities, and high schools
teach us about the issues we face, but they don’t teach us how to solve our
problems. That’s where we come in.  We host 25 workshops a year to provide
practical social change skills, including campaigning, fundraising, and
more.  We bring in fantastic trainers who are exceptional at making a
difference in our city, and we provide them with the space to share their
insights with you and our community.           Donate Now
