Fall session will be Friday, September 12 at 10 am through Sunday, September 14 at 1 pm at the Rickmann Center just outside Jefferson City.

Missouri’s Building Jobs with Justice Leadership Development Program provides leaders insight into organizing’s key concepts and skills. Community organizing principles, as first articulated and carried out by Saul Alinsky in Chicago, encouraged leaders to act together to create powerful organizations and win on issues they care about.

Particpants move through a series of sessions including such topics as: building relationships, understanding power, the meaning and understanding of self interest, issues and actions, creating winnable campaigns.

This training builds a stronger, more powerful movement for Jobs with Justice in Missouri.
