Progress Training Fund

To build a more progressive Toronto, we need hundreds of community leaders and volunteers organizing across the city.  Give to the Progress Training Fund today.

That’s our vision and that’s why we’re committed to running a suite of training programs that will help hundreds of Torontonians learn more about how to organize and influence decision-making locally between and during elections. Since we launched our training program in July 2019, we’ve trained over 2,000 people.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: GIVE TO THE PROGRESS TRAINING FUND
Invest in our training fund to help us train thousands of community leaders and organizers across the city.

Make it a monthly donation to help us sustain our training programs.

We’ve broken down the training programs more for you below. We’re trying to raise funds to cover basic costs (e.g. honorariums, space bookings, and our organizers’ time). 

THE BREAKDOWN: OUR TRAINING PROGRAM

We’ve proven that we can change even the most conservative politician’s vote by talking with people in their electoral districts about conservative choices and progressive solutions - and then making it easy for those people to take action.

The more people trained to organize, the more people we can reach and help to take action. That’s why we are invested in building capacity, skills, and networks among progressive Torontonians committed to building a better city. 

That means we’re investing time and resources into training programs that provide opportunities to learn more about local government and decision-making, how to knock on doors and how to organize your own door-to-door canvasses and phone banks, how to make a deputation at city hall or meet with local politicians, and more!

This is why we’ve launched our Progress Training Fund. We’re hoping to raise funds to help us run our seasonal training series for free to attendees.

Your contribution will help cover the costs of:

  • Seasonal training series workshops

  • Space to host trainings 

  • Course materials

  • Online tools (e.g. Zoom, CallHub)

  • Our Organizers’ time

  • And more!
