This Week At The Homeless Organizing Academy!

The Homeless Organizing Academy is a weekly series of FREE trainings, open to all homeless and formerly-homeless people, designed for them to get the skills and experience they'll need to fight for justice—and pursue employment as community organizers! Classes are taught by PTH staff, PTH members, and guest instructors with expertise and experience in each topic.

Everyone is welcomed regardless of experience!
