This is an opportunity to learn and practice leading effective organizing conversations with peers and experienced organizers from across the movement.

These three-day basic organizing skills trainings are for union members and organizers who are sponsored by their union.

The cost is $150 and covers meals and registration. Email us at [email protected] if you have questions or need more information.

Beginning June 1, 2019, for every 3 participants that a union registers, the union will need to provide an organizer to serve as a Teaching Fellow ("TF"). This will allow for an adequate TF-to-participant ratio.

3-Day Organizing Training

This training focuses on teaching the fundamentals of union organizing to entry-level staff organizers and member activists. Participants will learn one-on-one communication skills; how to identify, recruit and develop key workplace leaders to the campaign; and how to navigate and assess progress on internal and external organizing campaigns. Upon completion, you will have the skills, principles and tools to help working people win a voice on the job.
