Community Organizing

Community Organizing is a process where people come together to take action on shared interests or to address common problems. Coursera's Community Organizing catalogue teaches you everything about how to build power through collective action, fostering community engagement, and creating social change. You'll learn key concepts such as the principles of organizing, developing strategic campaigns, building relationships, effective communication, and leadership skills. This will enable you to not just understand but also address complex social issues, advocate for policy change, and foster a sense of community in a variety of settings. Whether you're a social worker, activist, community leader, or simply someone passionate about creating positive change, these skills will empower you to make a profound difference in your community.
