Community assistance
Everyday Democracy Program Director Gloria Mengual conducting a orientation in Casa Grande, Ariz.
When communities call us, we help them assess the local situation and determine an approach to problem solving that will work for them.
If a community decides to use study circles, we provide general advice by phone and email. Step-by-step organizing advice is available on our web site.
We invest additional staff time and field assistance in a small number of communities with innovative approaches to problem solving, strong, diverse, leadership and a commitment to institutional and policy change.
"In the many years of participating in group dynamics exercises and community organizational meetings, I have never encountered such a professional and practical demonstration as well as excellent participatory training program."
--Suran Rosenthal of Morris County Human Relations Commission (N.J.) on Everyday Democracy's organizing training
