About Us
Committed to advancing the struggle for social, economic, and racial justice, the Midwest Academy has trained community organizers for over 47 years. From local neighborhood groups to statewide and national organizations, the Academy has trained over twenty-five thousand grassroots activists from hundreds of organizations and coalitions. The Academy teaches an organizing philosophy, methods and skills that enable ordinary people to actively participate in the democratic process.
Trainings are available throughout the year for organizers and supervisors of organizers; in addition, tailored trainings are available for organizations needing to train a larger group or work on specific topics/campaign strategy.
