Introduction to Community Leadership will provide learners with a fundamental working knowledge of the varied aspects which go into crafting a successful community-led engagement campaign.

Community engagement campaigns are those which have a clear end in mind, whether that is something as local as new street lighting, or something more broad such as expanded health coverage for working families. This course prepares learners for advanced and hands-on learning in more specialized topics within Leadership Development and Community Organizing.

This course is especially effective for those new to community organizing, or those looking to sharpen their skills. It is not required to come with an issue already in mind! This workshop will teach you how to choose an issue that makes sense for your community. By the end of this course, you should be able to:

• Understand the basic components of community engagement/organizing campaigns.
  
  
• Understand and articulate the difference between an Issue and a Problem
  
  
• Describe the basic steps required to develop a community engagement/organizing campaign.
  
  
• Understand the concept of the Social Determinants of Health.
