  • Community Organizing Training: During the fiscal year, the organization provided community organizing training to approximately 92 individuals. Two Foundations of Community Organizing trainings were conducted in October 2024 and March 2025, each consisting of 16 instructional hours over two days and serving a total of 55 participants. In May 2025, the organization hosted a 5-Day Regional Community Organizing Training for 37 leaders from across the Pacific Northwest to strengthen leadership and civic engagement skills. Public Education and Civic Engagement: In Fall 2024, the organization facilitated a series of small-group meetings engaging 210 participants in discussions on local community issues. These meetings culminated in a Discernment Assembly attended by more than 150 individuals, where participants identified priority areas for action, including housing equity, access to quality jobs, and support for the public education system. Leadership Formation and Citizen-Led Research: The organization supported four Research Action Teams composed of educators, union members, faith representatives, and community leaders. These teams conducted issue research and developed proposals to address local challenges in education, housing, and workforce development.
