About the Program |
The TOLA curriculum is drawn from the teachings of Fred Ross Sr. and the lessons and experiences of people who organized in the Community Service Organization (CSO), the United Farm Workers (UFW), civil rights campaigns, and political campaigns. TOLA Fellows will gain an appreciation of the history of community organizing as well as understand their own motivations for doing this work. As they progress through this four-month academy, they will develop the fundamental skills necessary to become effective organizers including the use of a personal narrative to inspire others; an ability to listen and communicate persuasively; an ability to set goals and organize volunteers into action; and an ability to recruit and train volunteers in community outreach, door-to-door work, phone banking, and get-out-the-vote efforts. |
