How do we build and maintain valuable relationships for community organizing?

Relationship-building is at the core of community organizing. This introductory training will cover some key relationship-building tools like the “one to one” [aka “a research conversation”] and clarity between private relationships versus public relationships. Bring a comrade and a friend and come learn how to build these important relationships! Our expert will be Ohio Voice’s very own Alwiyah Shariff.
