Organizer Academy is a collaborative online training platform built for community and political organizers, nonprofit teams, and the broader progressive data movement. This platform enables small and medium teams to quickly onboard and upskill their data staff on core organizing tools as well as technical and coding topics in order to achieve maximum impact with their missions.
Both individual learners and teams have access to the Organizer Academy core curriculum, a library of modules designed in partnership with some of the leading experts in the progressive space. Teams can combine these modules with their own custom content to create specialized learning paths for their staff, all on “the modern training platform for progressive data teams”.
