OUR PROGRAMS SET US APART
The Organizing Center is a training home for people to develop the skills to build strong movements for social justice. Organizers learn or enhance the skills necessary for engaging, recruiting and mobilizing people for collective campaigns that win. All of our work is rooted in the belief that people power is necessary for us to win and possible for us to build.

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
Individualized mentorship with an experienced organizer.
Sometimes you need one-on-one support. Coaching sessions are designed to meet each organizer at their current level. Whether you are a new organizer who could use support to develop a work-plan or debrief organizing conversations, or you are a more experienced organizer looking to develop long-term campaign plans or to become a better supervisor we have the experience to help you reach the next level.
Schedule a free 30 minute consultation so we can talk through how our coaching fits with your needs.

PEER LEARNING LABS
Join a cohort of organizers to share and learn from each other's campaigns and experience
Peer learning labs are an opportunity for organizers to share best practices and problem-solve campaign problems. We launch new cohorts based on what organizers need to stay in movement work for the long-haul. Currently we have our Women Leading the Way peer learning lab and will be launching in 2022 Resilient Futures- a healing justice cohort for Black and Brown organizers. Whatever your level of experience, you will meaningfully contribute to and learn from the ideas of your cohort.
