We provide Native Community Organizer Training for Native leaders, nonprofits, and organizations both in rural and urban communities. We know that effective organizing requires continuous learning of new skills and strategies for today’s audience and their communication preferences. Grassroots organizing and campaigns are happening both on the ground and in digital spaces. With the rapid advancement of technology, it’s important to also be grounded in traditional practices and values and learn to apply Indigenous leadership skills. With these skills, organizations can build effective teams and powerful partnerships that can affect transformational change on a massive scale.
