56 union members and activists attended the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute 3-day training in Atlanta, GA.

The Organizing Institute (OI) seeks to help build the union movement primarily through identifying, training and developing organizers from our membership, staff, community and college campuses across the country.

The Organizing Institute is for activists: We are committed to educating organizers who are enthusiastic and energetic and arming them with skills to help workers form unions.

The Organizing Institute is for unions: Whether your union wants to develop a member organizer program, train organizing staff or recruit new organizers, the OI can assist. The OI staff includes organizer trainers with 15-plus years of union and community organizing experience. The OI offers training in the fundamentals of organizing as well as more advanced organizer training in both the classroom and the field.
