COC is straight forward and accessible to people with varying educational and life experiences.

Rotating Organizing Corps Internship Training (ROC-IT)  is a paid internship program for aspiring community organizers. We are accepting applications now!
In three months, interns learn how to outreach within the community, recruit members,  organize and facilitate meetings, public speaking, and how to develop campaigns to address critical community issues.  MWC also offers an Advanced ROCIT program for members who wish to further expand their skills to administration and strategic planning.

 

Outreach
Since its inception in 2001, ROC-IT has trained nearly 30 grassroots organizers. Five of them went on to graduate from the Advanced ROC-IT program and currently participate on LIFFT's steering committee.
