Our friends at London Citizens have two opportunities for people who want to learn more about community organising.
You can apply for their Summer Academy, an internship which involves working on campaigns such as helping marginalized workers get a Living wage; working in East London on the CitySafe campaign to tackle violence through rebuilding a community; working with migrants and asylum seekers as part of the Strangers into Citizens campaign.
Or you can study an M.A. in Community Organising at Queen Mary University.
More info on their website, here.

As much as I celebrate some of the achievements London Citizens has claimed to have accomplished (though much of it can be attributed to trade unions and student unions, especially in the case of Queen Mary’s). I cannot get by the fact that it is primarily comprised of religious organisations. As an atheist, I would be very uncomfortable in joining such a group. In any case, I can’t join, since it doesn’t have individual membership, so I would have to participate in one of London Citizens’ affiliates. I can’t really do that, since they are mostly religious!
