Dear Colleagues,
Something to pass on to students who are looking to graduate school
opportunities.
Please see email below from Steve Chase about Antiochs Environmental
Advocacy and Organizing Program and its weblog on "the well-trained
activist."
From: Steve Chase <steve_chase@verizon.net>
Dear Friends,
We still have some openings for the Fall 2006 cohort of the
Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program--Antioch University's
one-of-a-kind master's program for public interest advocates and
grassroots organizers working on wilderness protection, public health,
and sustainability (as well as peace, social justice, and the democratic
control of corporations). If you know of anyone who might be interested
in considering this program, which has an intense hands-on service
learning component, please forward this message to them. Sending it on
to listserves you are a part of also helps.
In particular, we want to let people know that we have just added
significant new information about the program on the Antioch New England
website, which folks can check out at: http://www.antiochne.edu/es/eao.
We've also just launched a new EAOP weblog entitled "The Well-Trained
Activist." This new blog should interest prospective EAOP students, as
well as anyone trying to increase their capacity as an effective
activist. I'll be adding postings to the blog at least once a week.
People can check it out at:

Thanks in advance for helping to spread the word. In these times, good
activist training has never been more important. As long-time community
organizer Si Kahn argues, "Training is one of the most useful things for
the long run that an organization can do. The more people we train, the
more leadership skills we develop, the more powerful our organizations
can become."
All my best,
Steve Chase
