Grassroots Organizer Training for Power, Mid-South Peace and Justice Center’s training program, is committed to building our community’s capacity through building skills in grassroots organizing, providing support to people doing community work and offering oppression awareness and liberation education.

Our method of education is Popular and Direct Education. Direct education means education that directly confronts and challenges the current system of injustice, which includes traditional education.
Rather than traditional education, which gives all the expertise to textbooks and teachers, Direct Education invites the expertise of the people themselves. Direct Education is about liberation and empowerment — going to the direct source of wisdom: the community itself!

Upcoming Workshops!

Registration opens on July 24th

• September 21, Privilege and Oppression Awareness, 6pm – 8:30pm

• October 19, Facilitation Skills when disruption happens, 6pm – 8:30pm

• November DTBD, Community Organizing Skills Training (14+hour training – Fri. Sat. & Sun.) Please if you are interested in participating in this training send an email to gio@midsouthpeace.org

Please contact us to get more information and schedule a training in your group or community. Fees are negotiable, scholarships are available and donations for scholarships are greatly appreciated.

Trainings can be designed specifically for established groups, organizations, campaigns, coalitions, etc. Comprehensive weekend workshops on specific organizing skill sets, issue or community-specific formats are available.
