CSIO is currently holding its Grassroots Leadership Institute in Spanish. The current cohort includes organizers, leaders and activists from Boston, Lawrence, Lynn, Worcester, Springfield and Providence, RI. Participants come from worker centers, community groups, ESOL programs, unions, housing organizations, CDC’s and worker cooperatives. The current Institute, offering Saturday sessions 1x/month, began in October 2013 and ends in March 2014. Since 2011, over 130 leaders and staff from some 55 groups that develop grassroots leaders to organize for social change have now participated in the GLI.
