We talk to one another to inspire each other to action, to have a sense of agency in a world where we otherwise feel powerless, and to take care of one another. One-on-one conversations are essential to labor and tenant organizing as well as onboarding and activation in any volunteer-run space. In this training, you will learn and practice how to structure and have these conversations! This in-person training will focus on how to ask individuals to get more involved in our work and take on roles of responsibility. All members are welcome, though anyone interested in helping grow our chapter by talking to new members is highly encouraged to attend. A Zoom-only training will be scheduled for September or October.
