Let’s Run Our Future
Welcome to the Community Empower Organizing Program and congratulations on taking the first step to becoming a CEO!
Relational Organizing is the simple idea that a volunteer reaching out to someone familiar is more effective than a volunteer reaching out to a stranger. Consider that it’s easy to ignore a call from a campaign, but harder to ignore a call from a friend.
