Community Organizing Training Institute
 
ONE DC (formerly Manna CDC) is seeking talented individuals with a recognized commitment to organizing, policy change, and a social justice-based education process to submit applications for the Kressley Organizing Institute. The Institute is designed to support and train local organizers through an intensive 6-day training institute, and seeks to build the capacity of individuals and/or organizations working District-wide around resident-led campaign development and action planning. While the Institute is seeking individuals who have an interest in professional community organizing, we are especially interested in community leaders who are working at the grassroots level to build the collective power and leadership of their fellow community members.

There is no fee for the Institute, but spaces are limited. Application materials must be turned in by April 11, 2008, and they can by accessed online at www.onedconline.org. The Institute will run from June 8 - 13, 2008. For more information, contact Ericka Taylor at (202)232-2915 or Jennifer Muhammad at jmuhammad@onedconline.org.
