It’s time for PRO Neighborhood’s annual Community Organizing Course, starting September 7. The course fee has been lowered to $25.
This course is geared toward neighborhood residents, non-profit staff responsible for community involvement, social services or social work students, and others interested in mobilizing neighborhood residents around their passions and skills.
Successful completion of the course requirements will result in three credits through Pima Community College and/or a Community Organizer Certificate from PRO Neighborhoods
The course consists of fifteen classes starting September 7 and ending November 30. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings and some Saturdays. Location of classes to be announced.
For more information and to register, call (520) 882-5885 or send an email to info@proneighborhoods.org.
