MAKING ABSORPTION REAL:  STRUCTURES & PRACTICES THAT BRING PEOPLE IN AND KEEP THEM

As more and more people become politicized during this moment, we yearn to bring them into our organizations so we can build power and win. But more often than not our organizations are not ready for this influx of people. This workshop teaches the fundamentals of creating leadership development structures & roles that support members to lead in our organizations and stay in our movements for the long-haul.​

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • 1 hour Orientation

    • Join us on zoom to meet fellow organizers and members of The OC training team, set learning goals, and make plans for achieving them over the course of our journey together.

  • 2-3 hours of Self-Paced Learning

    • on your own schedule, dig into videos, readings and worksheets to learn the basic concepts. At the end, submit the questions you want to answer, the challenges you are facing, and what you want to practice during the live practice & coaching session.

  • 2 hour Live Practice Session

    • you will practice and strengthen the skills you learned in the previous weeks with feedback from experienced organizers. Be prepared to be on camera,  practice, and receive feedback. Having a computer with strong internet connection and the ability to connect to video will ensure the best experience.

 

By the end of this workshop you will have:

  • Learned the structures, roles and programs you might need to absorb large numbers of new people into your organization

  • Identified approaches to leadership development that will support members to stay for the long-haul
