TRAINING THAT WORKS

 The Gamaliel Foundation is an international

organizing institute. It has been established to

train leaders and organizers for the increasingly

difficult task of building strong, stable and

effective institutionally-based power

organizations that can transform congregations and communities.

Nearly 60 organizations operating in urban,

suburban and rural settings are part of the

Foundation’s growing national network in 22 states.

Its methods are based upon the experiences and

reflections of men and women who have worked

in this field for over 35 years.

The Gamaliel Foundation conducts its seven-day

residential training program for leaders and

organizers four times a year in the U.S.

Topics covered during training include:

 • Institutional organizing

• Using the tools of community organizing to develop strong congregations

• Methodology for building power

• Tools to make and sustain relationships

• Self-interest, the public arena medium of

exchange

• Power analysis

• Building support with money and media

• The elements of good meetings

• Elements of a power organization

• Structuring personal and organizational time

• Strategic planning

• Metropolitan analysis

Knowledgeable and Experienced Leaders

The Gamaliel Foundation has brought together

people from its staff, consultants, board and

affiliate organizations who are knowledgeable and

experienced in community organizing as trainers.

Participants include clergy and lay leaders,
as well as leaders from community organizations, unions and other community-based institutions from across the country.
