About the Course

This introductory course is designed for bold, community-driven leaders who want to build power and find comfort in tools like project management. Before we dive into the change you will make in this world, we start with you—your leadership, your lived experiences, and your vision for impact. Drawing from my book, Project Management for Xingones, this course blends practical project management skills with a social justice lens, ensuring that community organizers, advocates, and changemakers have the tools to lead with clarity and sustainability. You’ll define your goals, explore where you can make the most impact, and learn the fundamentals of planning, stakeholder management, and execution—all while exploring cases where these approaches have been successful before.  Ready to get started?
