This summer, the New Organizing Institute is teaming up with the Gill Foundation to put a spin on its signature BootCamp training series to bring LGBT equality activists from around the country to Washington DC for an intensive, six-day new media training.

NOI’s BootCamps are well known for their innovative style, integrating cutting-edge online organizing techniques, political technology, and field leadership. LGBT BootCamp is no different, and will have a focus on building new media skills to help these organizers move LGBT issues forward and achieve unprecedented progressive change.

LGBT BootCamp will place trainees in workshops with the best progressive organizers in the country during the day, and on teams for campaign simulation exercises during the evening.  Trainees will master skills for crafting online campaigns, experimenting with everything from email calendars to metrics and testing.  Through NOI’s campaign simulation, trainees will have a chance to practice and refine their work with mentorship from some of the most experienced online organizers in the progressive movement.

There is an application process for this all-expense-paid training program. Applications are due by Monday, May 31.

We are especially looking for applicants from under-resourced parts of the LGBT movement. Ideal applicants are:

– Working at state-based LGBT organizations

– Interested in joining the staff of LGBT state-based organizations

– Looking to make a major impact on upcoming LGBT organizing opportunities in their state or are willing to move
