Friends,

On behalf of the entire Groundwork team, I am so excited to share some exciting news to kick off 2023: We’re teaming up with the NAACP this year to launch The Organizing Accelerator, a brand-new program to help train the next generation of organizers.

Together, we’ve developed a twenty-week training opportunity for emerging social justice advocates, civil rights leaders, and community organizers. True to Groundwork’s mission, the Accelerator will have a particular focus on increasing opportunity for young people from historically excluded and civically underfunded communities. We’re seeking to build a more representative bench of leaders and help ensure that every aspiring organizer out there has the chance to build a career in this work, no matter their zip code or background.

The Organizing Accelerator brings together the unique perspectives of the NAACP and Groundwork Project to focus on mentoring, training, and networking — here’s the program at a glance: [link removed]

This is our pilot year so we are deep in planning, dreaming, and building. We are committed above all else to making this a program by organizers, for organizers. We’re working closely with some incredible folks all across the country to develop a curriculum and experience that will make a real impact.
