URB-3270: Toolkit for Community Leaders

Toolkit for Community Leaders is a hands-on exploration of social, economic and political change strategies, as seen through the study of several real Los Angeles community-based campaigns. This course provides practice and skills in the field of community advocacy. The course will focus on specific campaigns with one and two week sections on policy analysis, community outreach, campaign building, messaging and power analysis; with the purpose of building effective participation in a cohesive local community of advocates for social change. Using the POP model (Purpose, Outcome, Process) for assessment, students will have the opportunity to analyze and investigate existing campaign goals and strategies. Those campaigns will include the City of LA’s Green Retrofit and Workforce Development Program, LAANE’s Don’t Waste LA and the Figueroa Corridor Coalition’s Staples Center Community Benefits Agreement. Students will work to identify a final campaign project, analyze and describe the purpose, outcome and process, create policy or program recommendations, summarize support and opposition positions, and develop a messaging strategy.
