Help us grow our Miami Dade Organizer Support Cohort to support crucial community organizers through out Miami Dade.
TOC, along with community partners, created a year-long cohort to build capacity for change-making organizers, organizations, and Miami Dade through peer-learning, one on one mentorship, and training workshops.
We will inspire organizing leadership to stay in economic and environmental justice work for the long haul by equipping organizers with tools and exercises that they can practice in their respective communities.
Currently the majority of racial justice and economic justice organizations do not have the capacity internally to continuously develop community organizers well. Most of our organizations are underfunded and understaffed and out of survival, managers are not able to provide ongoing training to community engagement staff.
To develop and engage leaders, organizations could continue to invest financially in hiring new community leadership hoping that they will stick around, however for a fraction of the cost, we can invest in current organizers to feel invested in and stay in the work for the long haul. Experienced organizers will engage many more community members with TOC’s coaching.
