Introduction to Community Organizing

Ohio Voice

What does it mean to be a community organizer? How do we get started? What are the basic strategies which help us mobilize our people?

Led by Ohio Voice&#x27;s own resident expert organizer, Alwiyah Shariff, this training is back by popular demand! In it, you&#x27;ll learn all about the basics of community organizing, what it means to be an organizer, and the first steps all organizers should take. You won&#x27;t want to miss it! Trainer Bio: Alwiyah Shariff is the Training &amp; Fellowship Manager at Ohio Voice. In 2007, as a high-schooler, she started her organizing career on a campaign to raise the minimum wage and learned how to advocate for young people in the system. Since then, she has worked in multiple sectors of the social justice movement including protest organizing, lobbying, union organizing and field organizing – registering over 45,000 young people in Ohio to vote as Ohio Student Association’s Field Director. She’s also been a trainer for multiple training institutions including the Midwest Academy, Momentum and WildFire. She is coming to us from her role as the National Membership Coordinator with the Working Families Party and is eager to work (strictly) in Ohio at such a critical time in our country. She lives in Columbus, Ohio with her family and loves to travel back home to East Africa.
