Learn how to use advocacy to build your organization’s strength, capacity, and success with Action Circles’ six-course Academy Series on the Action Circles Model of Organizing this August and September!
The Academy Series is a professional development opportunity for advocates, activists, and anyone interested in building leadership and support within their organization or for a Campaign. Each class focuses on a different component of the Action Circles Model of Organizing that Amy Shollenberger has developed over many years.
The Action Circles Model of Organizing can be applied in many different ways and has been used successfully in advocacy and political campaigns, fundraising efforts, marketing plans, and more. In addition to learning the ins and outs of this tested and effective model, this series is a peer-to-peer learning experience where folks are encouraged to share thoughts, ask questions, and share their own experiences to learn from each other.
