What's It About?
The Toolkit is a set of resources that supports face-to-face
training for residents and community leaders. The
computer-based component (the "Organizing Game") is used to
introduce concepts, prompt discussion, and allow residents
to practice skills in a safe, non-threatening environment.
The initial focus of the Toolkit is teaching Doorknocking,
an organizing technique that's particularly effective in
moving issues within a local community.
