If you want to change the world, you'll need a few tools to do it. KSEC understands that grassroots organizers need knowledge and skills to effect change in their communities. This page is a place to find some of the best. We've collated our training database and resource pages from our allies to enable you to find the information you need to fight for our future.

KSEC Curriculum

KSEC maintains a database of trainings designed to give students and young people all the skills they need to become effective grassroots organizers. Our trainings are drawn from our years of success aiding student organizers across the state, as well as decades of learned experience from our forbears in the movement.

​Below we have a list of curricula our regional campus organizers can bring to your campus. Reach out to one of our organizers today if you would like to schedule a training for your organization.
