ORGANIZE! BUILD! WIN!

The GrassRoots Organizing Weekends (GROW) have been developed by students and community organizers to give student and youth activists the tools to not only solve the problems we face, but to build our organizations around the principles of Direct Action Organizing to ensure long term change. Through an interactive, hands-on environment, GROW is designed to help you:

• Overcome lack of participation on campus
• Develop strategies to win specific issues campaigns
• Gain hands-on organizing experience
• Build more effective coalitions
• Increase the membership, reputation, funding, and influence of your organization.

GROW is about ACTION!

Students have a long history of organizing for positive changes on campus and in society. Yet for too long, we have been forced to reinvent the wheel to make such changes. GROW addresses this problem by teaching student organizers successful strategies and skills developed by experienced organizers over the last 50 years. Regardless of the issue you work on or your level of experience, GROW can help you build strong, lasting organizations that will continue to build student power beyond your tenure on campus.

Sign up for the GROW at Duke University March 1st-3rd!
