Length, Dates and Times Offered

  • 1 hour on Monday, January 26th:
  • 2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET

By the end of this Open House, participants will...

  • Learn about the objectives and application parameters for the cohort
  • Be able to ask clarifying questions about the goals and expectations of the program

This Open House is ideal for:

Associations: This training is for longstanding or just forming solidarity economy place-based networks, collectives, associations, and/or coalitions that are democratic and membership-based. It will work well for either: those seeking to deepen their alignment to Solidarity Economy frameworks and practices; or those who are already oriented to SE principles and wish to develop their strategic capacity and planning skills.

Size: a cohort should be between 6-15 people, drawn from member organizations of the association, or the people in leadership of the association.

Preparation: A cohort should have at least a basic understanding of the movement and solidarity economy landscape in their area. This means you already know what solidarity economy models and tools are being used in the area you wish to organize, and ideally you already have some relationship if you are just forming an association.

Commitment: A cohort must be able to meet online consistently over zoom, with one 90-minute session every week for 18 weeks (which is about 4.25 months).

To prepare for this Open House:

  • Join via Zoom.

Accessibility:

  • Access requests, including interpretation and captioners, can be made during registration or by emailing Dustin Gibson at dustin@peopleshub.org.  Requests for interpreters and captioners that are made less than 48 hours before the event typically are more difficult to meet. We will try and notify you if we cannot secure requested access. 

Issues with Registration?

  • If you have questions about this offering or technical needs registering for this event, please contact registration support.

Cost:

  • Free! Though we appreciate donations from those who can afford to do so.
  • At PeoplesHub we are committed to communication access, radical hospitality, supporting facilitators, and making our offerings financially accessible. Donations allow us to continue offering programs like this one and pay speakers, tech support leads, interpreters, captioners, and other support staff a fair wage for their time and expertise. Like you, those who support our trainings work hard for change in their communities and have often developed the knowledge, skill and gifts that they are offering through many unpaid hours — let’s support them to be sustainable in their work and craft!
