ASA will be hosting a GrassRoots Organizing Weekend (GROW) training for ASA board members and interns the weekend of September 18-20th at ASU Downtown. The GROW was developed by the United States Student Association (USSA) and is a comprehensive three-day training for student organizers. The GROW teaches students how to be more strategic in their fight for justice on campus and in the community. The training is a series of presentations, exercises, and discussions that teach a set of skills and concepts, which will increase the effectiveness of your student organizing. As a participant of the GROW you will learn how to:
* Increase student power on campus and in the community
* Develop an effective strategy for your campaign
* Overcome lack of participation on campus
* Increase membership of your organization
* Build more effective coalitions
* Win concrete victories in students’ lives
