Second installment of a three-year grant to build grassroots organizing capacity by providing relational organizing training, coaching, and technical support to nonprofit organizations across the United States, and to empower communities to advocate for policies that will improve their health and well-being.
Resource
1:1 Coaching, Empower App, and Training Programs
Empower Project supports organizations to empower leaders in their communities through relational-forward organizing with robust training and coaching as well as access to technology (ex: FREE Empower App) and funding, addressing the bottlenecks that have historically limited Relational Organizing access and scalability. In addition to monthly Relational Organizer Training Cohorts, Empower Project provides 1-1 coaching and ongoing training from a designated Coaching Specialist and free access to relational organizing software to help partners center the power of their relationships in their organizing.
Several Rx Foundation grant partners have worked with Empower Project through our Targeted Coaching and Technical Assistance support, including Alabama Arise, Appalachian Citizens’ Law Center, Ariadne Labs, Community Catalyst, Health Care for All Massachusetts, Health Equity Solutions, National Association of Community Health Workers, New York Immigration Coalition, SCOPE South LA, and West Virginians for Affordable Health Care.
