Who We Are & What We Stand For
Are you angry about the injustices your community faces? Do you want to learn how to build the people power necessary to fight those injustices and make real, local change? As a community organizer with GOAL, you’ll learn how to bring together our area's diverse faith community to address the root causes of serious community problems.
GOAL is a constituent-led, grassroots organization that is part of the Direct Action and Research Training Center (DART), one of the largest faith-based community organizing networks in the country. At DART, we stand against narratives of fear, scarcity, and division, and instead bring people together across lines of difference to take action off our shared values of abundance, love, hope, and promise. We believe that fighting for racial and economic justice is fundamental to our identity as people of faith, and we know that winning justice requires having power in the public arena. We've been organizing interfaith coalitions to build that power and win since 1982.
What We Do
Organizers in the DART network go beyond the symptoms of community problems to change the unjust systems that cause these issues in the first place. A few of our victories include:
The Work
As an organizer in the DART network, you’ll spend most of your time in the community, building relationships of trust with everyday people of faith. Through one-on-one conversations, you’ll invite people to be part of something bigger than themselves, moving them from solitary struggle to the pursuit of collective power. You’ll engage them in claiming their own powerful voice and developing their leadership as you guide them through conducting research into community problems. You’ll organize direct action assemblies involving hundreds or even thousands of people to demand action and hold decision makers accountable, winning changes that will greatly impact your community. You’ll also recruit new congregations, organize local trainings, and coordinate an annual fundraising drive.
