'Listening Project' Training - Community Listening, Empowerment & Change

Join us on Saturday, August 12 at 3pm - Grower's Alliance Cafe, 322 Anastasia Blvd., St. Augustine

Learn or improve your canvassing skills by applying the latest techniques, Deep Canvassing, at this healthcare canvassing event. The "Listening Project" is up to 10 times more successful than phone banking at affecting people's opinions and has many times longer persistence.

The exercise will focus on health care and people’s opinions about it. This will be a nationwide project involving thousands of respondents. Best of all, it will allow us to gear up for the upcoming elections where we can affect a color change to St Johns County.

Volunteers will meet for an hour of prep and training followed by two hours of canvassing in pairs with prepared material. The goal is for each pair of volunteer canvassers to have five conversations with respondents. Afterwards, we will meet and debrief before celebrating our efforts. All materials will be provided.

This is an opportunity for you to gain experience in canvassing, develop your skills in active listening, and have an influence on the next election cycle.

Everyone participating in this Event will be required to abide by all applicable laws and lawful orders of authorities. This Event will be nonviolent and will not involve any civil disobedience or other violation of law.
