Wallin Scholarship Program at the U

The Center for Democracy and Citizenship invites you to participate in the Organizers Breakfast Club,
a four-part series for new and experienced organizers who want to be more effective in working to solve common problems.

Each session of the breakfast club will include an interactive discussion followed by group work and
action planning. Sessions will cover: democracy (Sept. 26), relationship building (Nov. 21), power (Jan. 30), and culture and diversity (Mar. 13).

At these meetings you’ll have opportunities to:

• Build relationships with people from a variety of backgrounds who are doing public work.
• Refresh your skills and learn new strategies for organizing people and resources to solve common problems.
• See the bigger picture of possibilities for civic change.
• Reflect on your public work and get energized by interacting with others.

The Organizers Breakfast Club is hosted by the Center for Democracy and Citizenship as a part of Minnesota Works Together, a long-term initiative to renew our state’s democratic way of life.
