Nov 11th - "Building & Embracing Power" We are pleased to host the community organizing workshop on power - what is it? If one wants to be on a team creating systems change, one must be comfortable with power. It is not a zero-sum game, there is no "power pie." One is not limited to a slice - learn the truth about power so we can build the world we wish to live in, one where beloved community abounds.

Nov 18th - "Understanding Self-Interest" is a foundational tool for creating systems change, as it not only helps us recognize our own motivations but also allows us to appeal to others' self-interests to build genuine support. This training equips faith leaders and advocates from any arena to connect their values with the interests of potential allies, fostering collaborations that advance justice, equity, and compassion across New Hampshire. Let's build an army of Beloved Community!

Nov 24th - "1:1 Meetings" will share how to engage in structured, intentional meetings to build an army of relationships in your public life. This training equips participants to cultivate strong connections that are essential for building lasting influence and community power. Relationships are everything!

Dec 2nd - "Building a Strategic Campaign" is the capstone in our community organizing training series, guiding advocates to design powerful advocacy campaigns that create lasting change. This workshop provides the essential tools and insights to shape campaigns that mobilize support, leverage resources, and drive forward a shared vision for justice and equity.
