Training
Using technology effectively makes your organizing easier, better and faster, but you can’t achieve those gains if your team lacks the skills. PTP’s curriculum uses organizing scenarios and group projects to focus your learning on organizing challenges. We offer trainings that can bolster your organization’s capacity to employ basic tech skills, develop communications plans, and effectively integrate technology tools into your organizing strategies. Read more below about the roster of trainings we offer, including TechCamp for skill-building basics, Community Organizing and Technology Institute (COaTI) for increasing organizational capacity, and specialized intensive trainings that offer grants, training, and ongoing technical assistance and strategic consulting. One of these programs is REVERB, designed to help you deepen the strategic integration of technology into your work. Read on for more information.
