The IAF Northwest / IAF Pacific helps to recruit, identify and support organizers in the 14 different affiliates and start-up alliances in our region. 

Our veteran staff draw on their years of organizing experience when they provide support and training to local organizers, onsite, online and at regular Organizer Retreats

Regional Organizers also support more informal exchanges among the international cadre of local organizers and top leaders.

Throughout all of this work is the central goal of equipping local organizations to develop their own pool of relational and strategic local organizers and leaders who have an appetite to take action that brings about meaningful change.

Often working alone, the job of a community organizer can be tough and isolating. 

The IAF Pacific provides collegiate support, supervision and mentoring.
