Do you have a vision of WV as the best place to live, work, and raise a family - no matter who you are? If so,

YOU are INVITED!

Whether you are just starting to work on the issues you care about, or want to improve your leadership skills, this training is for you. Over the course of two days, you'll:
  • Get an overview of community organizing
  • Learn how and why to have one-on-one conversations to build relationships
  • Analyze power structures - who has it, and how to bring them to your side
  • Get best practices to develop teams and bring new leaders to your issue
  • Plan meetings with decision makers
  • Ask questions of experienced organizers
  • Hear from young people about their needs and visions
  • And much, much more...
Think you're not "ready" or "involved enough" to attend? You're EXACTLY who this training is for!!!
We especially encourage high school and college age young people, people of color, and women to attend.

A limited number of scholarships are available. To apply, send the following information to careyjo@ourfuturewv.org:

  • Your name, address, phone number and email
  • Why you want to attend the training
  • What issues you are working on (this does not have to be an OCOF platform issue - it can be any change you want to make in your community or the State )
  • Ideas of how you will use what you learn at the workshop in your community
