The GROW teaches students how to be more strategic in their fight for justice on campus and in the community. The training is a series of presentations, exercises, and discussions that teach a set of skills and concepts, which will increase the effectiveness of your student organizing. The GROW trainers are seasoned student organizers from around the country who teach by using their own personal organizing experiences. Usually 20-40 participants attend each GROW. As a participant of the GROW you will learn how to:
	* Increase student power on campus and in the community

	* Develop an effective strategy for your campaign

	* Overcome lack of participation on campus

	* Increase membership of your organization

	* Build more effective coalitions

	* Prioritize the issues that are important to you

	* Win concrete victories in students’ lives
