Visionary Organizing Lab (VOL) teaches Visionary Organizing to individuals, communities, students, and organizations. Visionary Organizing is approach to change that equally emphasizes our material needs for survival and our non-material need for thriving. We teach Visionary Organizing through classes, workshops, trainings, and media.

We believe that when we learn to equally emphasize our material and non-material needs, we begin to exist in ways that allow us to create communities, organizations, and institutions that allow us to thrive in partnership with others and the Earth.

To see how VOL situates our work and guides people through understanding their power to create the future they want with the resources they have now, watch this short video:
