The Organizing Academy is a new initiative HSC developed as part of our approach to build the influence of the human services sector and maximize the impact of HSC’s advocacy campaigns.
The Organizing Academy will offer a series of workshops designed to develop and build the knowledge base of our members and provide key tools needed to fully engage in HSC’s organizing and power-building efforts. These trainings are available to all our members with different trainings being available to staff at all levels within the organization.
Please note that all trainings are for HSC Members only.
We don’t currently have any upcoming trainings. Keep an eye on this webpage and subscribe to our eblast to be notified of when new Organizing Academy opportunities are announced!
For those who have already taken an Organizing Academy workshop – and those who are interested in learning more! – check out the available resources below to build on the lessons learned in each session.
Executives will learn how to strategically develop leadership within their organization’s greatest resource; staff and clients, to engage in advocacy campaigns. We will ground in why these strategies and tactics matter and dig into when and how to engage staff.
