Learn Community Organizing Skills to Win Health Justice
Are you involved in the health care sector and passionate about making positive change in your field and your community? Do you have a desire to step up and work for expanded and improved universal health care? This course is for you.
During this online interactive one-day, in-person workshop from the Institute for Change Leaders and the Douglas Coldwell Layton Foundation, lead instructor Olivia Chow will teach you how to:
- Tell your story to motivate others
- Using deep canvassing to connect with neighbors and supporters about your cause
- Design a strategy that gets the change you want
- Structure your team to avoid burnout and facilitate growth
- Recruit and keep volunteers
- Choose tactics that move decision-makers
You will learn through lectures and small group activities that will allow you to practice the skills we teach. You will work with an experienced organizer, who will facilitate your group and help you plan your organizing project. You will finish the course ready to tell your story, with a developed organizing statement, and tools to plan your organizing project's strategy and tactics.
