Wanting to learn more about what community organising is, and you are asking yourself how does community organising differ from other approaches?
Based on the many conversations with fellow practitioners over the last 10 years we have set out what we see community organising is, and what it isn’t, and what makes community organising a distinctly different and unique approach.
Community Organisers aims to overcome social injustices, by reaching out and listening to people, motivating them to take action, and connecting them to build their Collective Power to achieve the changes they desire.

When you join Community Organisers you become a participant in a nationwide campaign opposing the inequality, poverty, intolerance, and deprivation, that blight so many people’s lives.
As one of our Members, you will have the encouragement and support needed to build a Community Powerbase that addresses local issues, raises shared concerns, challenges authorities to account for their actions, and gives Voice to demands for social change.
Our Organising Groups, Social Action Hubs, shared expertise, and vast online resources provide the perfect back-up and support needed to effect real changes, real benefits, real opportunities – and real empowerment – for everyone.
Finding Community Organising was a revelation to me. It's the way I want to be in my communities and my neighbourhood and I want to do everything I can to support this work.
You will be offered quality-assured training through The National Academy of Community Organising (NACO), which will equip you with the skills and practices you need to transform your Community. And in the process, you will also acquire knowledge and skills to enhance your careers.
What will you tell your family, friends, relatives, neighbours, communities, strangers, even adversaries? You stood for what you believed in. You made a difference. And you bestowed on your Community the most powerful gift – the gift of self-empowerment.
