COMMUNITY ORGANIZING: PEOPLE, POWER AND PEACEFUL CHANGE

Catalog description

Mobilizing communities for positive and peaceful social change requires thoughtful leaders equipped with the skills to organize people and power. Organizing can make a difference in addressing major public challenges that demand full engagement of community, especially those whose voices are not heard unless they organize. Leadership is accepting responsibility to enable others to achieve shared purpose in the face of uncertainty. Organizing is a way to lead by identifying, recruiting and developing more leaders; building community around that leadership; and building power from the resources of that community.
