AISJ was created to educate and assist organizations serving low- and moderate-income neighborhoods (including CDC's, human service organizations, union locals, and coalitions) with community organizing skills and strategies.  As part of this work, American Institute for Social Justice provides training programs designed for groups which are struggling to build and mobilize a constituency for change needed to transform poor communities.

We offer individually tailored training and technical assistance packages to groups designed to train local staff, leadership, and members. Training is done through careful combinations of the most effective learning strategies including on site consultations, small and large group sessions, one day or weekend seminars, and so on.

All training packages focus around the following frameworks for successful organizing programs:

	Developing strategic thinking skills through the organization
	Developing and sustaining a culture of organizing.
	Building individual staff and leader's skills in the critical areas of community organizing, resident engagement, and constituent development.
	Planning and implementing effective community organizing campaigns.
	Sharpening practices and building systems for developing effective indigenous leadership at the neighborhood level.

AISJ can work with your group to help get more community people involved in your organization.
