Developing Leadership

The Land Stewardship Project’s power is in our members. Developing our members to lead our campaigns, be leaders in their communities, and publicly act on our shared values is essential to realizing our vision for people and the land.

The Policy Department holds an annual Organizing & Social Change Cohort. To learn about the 2021-22 cohort, view our flyer here or click on the image to the right. If you’re interested in joining, you can fill out the interest form here or contact LSP’s Amanda Koehler via e-mail or at 612-400-6355.

Leadership Trainings

We also hold member leadership trainings at least once per month. Check out our events calendar for details on upcoming trainings. If you’re interested in being a leader at LSP, please reach out to Koehler.

'Farms, Not Factories' Webinar

How we build a system that stops factory farms and supports small and mid-sized farmers will be the focus of a webinar the Land Stewardship Project will be participating in on Tuesday, June 28, from 1:30 p.m.-3 p.m. CT. The webinar is being hosted by the HEAL Food Alliance, an LSP partner.

We hope you can join us for a conversation about how corporate power influences our current farm system, how LSP and others have taken on these battles and won, and what our vision for a farm system without mega-factory farms looks like.

LSP Deep Canvassing Training

Tuesday July 12

6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Deep canvassing is a candid, non-judgmental, two-way conversation where canvassers ask voters to share their relevant, emotionally significant experiences and reflect on them aloud. It is one of the most durable and proven forms of persuasion when talking to people who might hold differing beliefs than you and is going to be critical in creating the world we want and need.

Join the Land Stewardship Action Fund to learn about deep canvassing, what it is and why it’s important, and get trained on how to deep canvass so you’re able to powerfully participate in LSAF’s upcoming deep canvasses and put these important skills to use in your community.
