description: Grassroots Leaders Building Skills is a course developed for leaders of low-income and marginalized groups in Halifax NS Canada. The course was extremely successful, so when the funding ended, the instructors decided to make it available to anyone doing this type of work. The first section describes the history and pedagogy of the course, including practical information like budgeting and organizing childcare for students who are single parents, as well as reflections from the graduates. The second section is the course itself, with all exercises and handouts. The book is spiral bound in 8 1/2 X 11 format to allow instructors to lay the handouts flat on the platter of a photocopier. The book is offered by the publisher on a print-on-demand basis with a minimum order of 15 copies, so those who wish to use it must arrange to order as a group or sell extra copies. This is usually no problem, as graduating students often want to purchase one.
