Learn the skills to organize, lead, and build power.
RAD NH trainings help people understand how power works, build organizing relationships, develop practical skills, and prepare to take meaningful responsibility in campaigns, teams, and public life.
Training is not separate from organizing. It prepares people to act, reflect, lead, and help others grow.
People become stronger organizers when learning is connected to real practice.
Trainings create shared language, political understanding, and practical tools. Their purpose is to help people participate more effectively, take on leadership, and support others into action.
We teach skills people can use immediately.
Participants practice conversations, storytelling, power analysis, facilitation, outreach, campaign strategy, and public leadership.
Trainings are strongest when participants have a clear opportunity to apply what they learned soon afterward.
Build confidence
Practice reduces uncertainty and helps people see themselves as capable participants and leaders.
Develop shared analysis
Participants connect lived experience to root causes, institutions, decision-makers, and power.
Strengthen teams
Teams work better when members share tools, expectations, language, and ways of making decisions.
Multiply leadership
People learn not only to perform a skill, but to support and train others in using it.
A practical foundation for organizing and leadership.
Offerings may change based on current campaigns, team development, and organizational priorities, but these modules form the core of RAD NH’s training pathway.
RAD NH Orientation
Learn our mission, values, organizing framework, structure, expectations, and pathways for participation.
Fundamentals of Organizing
Explore relationships, leadership, power, strategy, collective action, and the role of an organizer.
Conversations That Move People
Practice listening, curiosity, values, storytelling, agitation, and making meaningful asks.
Power Analysis
Identify decision-makers, organized opposition, allies, institutions, interests, and leverage.
Relational Organizing
Map relationships, make personal invitations, organize networks, and help others take action.
Canvass and Outreach
Prepare for voter and community contact, use scripts effectively, listen well, and follow up.
Story and Testimony
Connect lived experience to shared values, root causes, public demands, and collective action.
Direct Action and Campaigns
Understand demands, targets, escalation, tactics, turnout, risk, and disciplined public action.
Digital Organizing
Use email, social media, digital outreach, content, and online tools to support organizing goals.
Training topics are selected and scheduled in coordination with RAD NH’s current organizing strategy, campaigns, and leadership-development needs.
Learn, practice, reflect, and lead.
A workshop can introduce a skill. Growth happens when people apply it, receive support, and take on greater responsibility over time.
Understand the concept.
Explore organizing ideas, tools, examples, and the purpose behind a skill or practice.
Try it in a supported setting.
Use role plays, exercises, planning tools, and guided feedback to build confidence.
Use it in real organizing.
Take on a conversation, outreach shift, meeting role, campaign task, or leadership responsibility.
Help others learn.
Co-facilitate, mentor, model the skill, give feedback, and create opportunities for others to practice.
The goal is not simply to complete trainings. It is to become more capable of organizing people and developing leadership.
Skills become meaningful when people use them in shared work.
RAD NH helps participants connect training to current campaigns, organizing teams, outreach opportunities, public actions, and leadership roles.
Every training should point toward a practical next step.
An organizer or member leader can help participants identify where the skill is needed and how to practice it with support.
The next step may be small: making one call, inviting one person, sharing one story, or helping facilitate part of a meeting.
Outreach roles
Canvassing, phonebanking, relational outreach, event invitations, follow-up, and recruitment.
Team roles
Facilitation, turnout, storytelling, communications, research, digital support, and coordination.
Campaign roles
Power mapping, testimony, action planning, public narrative, target research, and tactical leadership.
Leadership roles
Mentoring, training others, leading teams, developing strategy, and creating pathways for new leaders.
There is a place to begin at every experience level.
Some participants are new to organizing. Others bring years of experience. Trainings are designed to help people build shared practice and identify a meaningful next step.

Training offerings change throughout the year based on current campaigns, organizing-team development, and leadership needs.
