Strong communities need highly skilled leaders. We offer a range of training programmes for volunteer and professional leaders in our communities.
If you’re looking for inspiration and the practical skills to bring people into a distinct community with a shared purpose, join the new cohort of Masorti’s community leaders.
Across monthly sessions, we explore the principles of community organising as well as the practical skills that have helped elevate and mobilise our growing network of leaders.
From getting your teeth into what it means to be a relational leader, to learning the tools to facilitate a well-run listening campaign, this course will skill you up, develop your ideas, and provide an empowering space to grow as a community organiser.

“This course has been revelatory. It has completely changed my community. We went from no structure, no leadership, and no direction, to forming committees, electing chairs, running a listening campaign and resolving a number of new directions for the group…. By empowering me with knowledge and skills and sharing those with others it felt organic and home grown.” – Anna Sheinman, Ohel Moed Community.
Developed in partnership with Citizens UK, this training programme builds on research into fast-growing communities and the tools of community organising to teach you how to grow your membership. We’ll explore five tried and tested levers of growth:
We’ll train up a team of volunteer leaders, help you assess your community’s areas for development, and support you as you make plans and take action. The results? More members and deeper levels of participation, relationships and leadership.
“Our numbers have been up so much that we’ve had to move into a new venue… People really want to get involved. When we’ve reached out to people to join a team, or to have a one-to-one, or a house meeting, the vast majority of people have responded very enthusiastically. Our members want to do more for the shul community, and they want to see our community grow and thrive.” – Rabbi Roni Tabick, New Stoke Newington Shul
