Join experienced organizers from across the state for a day-long canvass and outreach training for campaign managers, organizers, and volunteers. The training will include a comprehensive overview of citizen outreach, and materials and resources campaigns will need to win in 2010.

Attendees will participate in interactive workshops, in-the-field canvass training and advanced trainer trainings that will provide both a big picture and detailed understanding of canvassing. Participants will take home new skills and the opportunity to grow their movements with easy to replicate trainings and materials.
