Mobilising the community

Print

Community moblilisation is the process whereby members of a community identify a need, rally support and work towards an outcome for the benefit or development of the greater community.

It is one of the greatest and most powerful tools of a community organisation or movement to be able to bring people together to lobby, to advocate, to protest on behalf of a community or cause.

These resources from ourcommunity.org.au can help you mobilise your community as well as provide advice on how to hold a public forum. Our Community is Australia's Centre for Excellence for the nation's 600,000 not-for-profits & schools, providing advice, tools, resources and training.
