Get Organized
The Roosevelt Institute | Campus Network has a series of resources available for chapters, everything you might need from starting a chapter from scratch to growing a chapter that’s been around for years.
TRAININGS AND DOCUMENTS
The Roosevelt Thinks | Training series provides a comprehensive and customizable introduction to policy. The series is designed as a recruitment tool (Thinks | 2040 specifically), a way to get effective conversations started based on core values and a shared vision of the future, and as a method for focusing policy in on the community its designed to serve.
The trainings can be used to help shape a chapter’s direction, and help introduce the skill set necessary to create change.
Why 2040?
Roosevelt strives to problem solve in local communities in ways that make a tangible impact in people’s lives. By focusing on 2040, the Roosevelt Thinks conversations are able to transcend present day politics and focus instead on long-term problems and the corresponding root causes.
