BRYANT POND — The 10th annual GROW (GrassRoots Organizing Workshops) Weekend will be held Friday through Sunday, Sept. 27 to 29, at the Bryant Pond 4-H Camp.

The gathering offers members of grassroots groups an opportunity to learn strategies needed to solve the problems of a struggling economy, environmental threats, inequality, lack of health care and others.

It is for new and experienced organizers from Maine and northern New England to learn from each other, understand the big picture of social change, build community and organizing skills, be more effective in doing social action and become lifelong organizers for change.

Workshop topics will include strategy development, influencing public policy, power analysis, overcoming oppression, listening and storytelling and Organizing 101.

Cost is $10-80 (based on ability to pay), including fresh, locally grown food and rustic lodging. Childcare is also available for those who preregister.
