Graphic with bold text reading “The Art of Purpose + Strategy School, Cohorts 2024.”

This April The Action Lab is launching two cohorts for organizers, strategists, and movement leaders. Learn more, share this information, and apply now!

The Art of Purpose will be a year-long interdisciplinary fellowship weaving political, relational, and artistic purpose and strategy. We’re looking for seasoned movement leaders looking to deepen their commitment and add new dimensions to their work.

Strategy School will be a cohort to hone and expand organizers’ strategic capacity and experiment with new approaches and moves. We’re looking for organizers involved in the regular creation and execution of strategy, in campaigns, coalitions, and with grassroots members.

**Both of these cohorts will launch on April 17th, 2024, at The Action Lab in Ossining, New York. **

Applications are open until March 15th, and final cohort decisions will be set on March 21st.

Apply for both cohorts HERE! The application consists of a short form followed by a conversation. Participants can only apply to one cohort at a time.

We’re so excited to launch these efforts to deepen organizers’ commitments and sharpen our skills together!
