Plan. Activate. Engage. Build.
Our programs are structured to support and prepare progressive leaders to:
- Plan — Set bold visions and strategies.
- Activate — Move their communities into action.
- Engage — Retain people and develop their leadership.
- Build — Build community and collective power for the long-term.
Our trainings are designed with small-group engagement and community-building in mind, and allow participants to connect and interact meaningfully.
We also emphasize applicability through a pedagogical approach that centers practice and enables participants to build their skills, receive real-time feedback and immediately apply learnings to their day-to-day organizing.

“The trainers are AMAZING, the course work is comprehensive and challenging, but extremely useful, and the emphasis on training digital organizers/data people other than cis white men makes me hopeful for the future of decolonizing data and creating a world where data works for everyone.”
