Root Camp National Activist Education and Training Resources

Root Camp™ is a grassroots training program supported by Grassroots For America, in conjunction with Latinos for America and is designed to educate, empower and engage everyday citizens to be active in and influence community involvement in the political process on a local, regional and national level.
Conceived as a grassroots leadership "seeding" program, Root Camp™ is currently cultivating teams of grassroots leaders and connecting them through out the progressive community and local political party activism. Root Camp™ is also a place where new activists will go to get help navigating the sometimes intimidating roads of political engagement.
Root Camp™ is organizing on a national level with a goal of establishing Root Camp Mentors in each metropolitan region to provide on-going support for local grassroots leaders and to help organize and tailor local training programs in their communities. Root Camp™ will also, while working through our network, offer shared training tools and resources so activists can stay in tune with what is going on around them. Through this proactive and organic growth of sharing best practices and resources Root Camp will ultimately create the larger National Community Education and Training concept package.
Root Camp™ is the only program running that involves the grassroots as both trainers and trainees and offers a niche for all who wish to participate. It is also the only concept which encourages Grassroots or activist educational/training ideas and helps empower them into practice. We believe that there is great promise for this model and we are confident that there will be great power in its implementation.
