The Movement Activist Apprenticeship Program (MAAP) is a pioneer national organizer training program, training activists of color in the skills needed to run campaigns that address issues affecting people of color across the country. As the oldest training program exclusively for people of color, MAAP has served to build a vibrant network of activists bonded by a life changing experience. This achievement has directly served Equal Voices goal of building strong cross-issue networks to share knowledge, organize constituencies of low-income families and pursue policy advocacy campaigns for change. On the cusp of its 30th anniversary, MAAP has been redesigned to deepen its impact for both host sites and apprentices. Beginning in 2014, CTWO located MAAP within consolidated city-based projects, with more apprentices working together in the same cities in order to deepen their organizing experience, make a greater impact on the local or regional political terrain, and build stronger ties among apprentices. Moreover, host sites were asked to commit to at least two years of participation to strengthen the relationship between host sites and MAAP, and to offer graduates opportunities to return to previous sites as lead organizers. These structural changes to the program not only expose apprentices to a broader range of dynamics of a campaign, such as participating in long-term strategy sessions and escalation tactics, but also serve to increase the potential for real campaign wins. By assigning more apprentices in fewer host sites, MAAP seeks to increase the capacity of member-led organizations and amplify the collective voice of families and grantees, so that they can influence public discourse and public policy.Program 2: Community Action TrainingsCTWO provides 3-day intensive organizing skills and leadership training to various member led organizations, through our Community Action Trainings (CAT) in Pittsburgh. Not only does CAT provide hands-on knowledge of grassroots community organizing within communities of color, it also creates spaces for people of color to build relationships with each other, further expanding the network of activists of color working towards racial justice in the area. Since it was launched 20 years ago, CTWO has trained over 4,000 individuals across the country. Participants of our Community Action Trainings (CAT) learn how to door-knock and other forms of contact work as a tool for recruiting and mobilizing constituents, participate in campaign development and actions, learn grassroots fundraising techniques, debate approaches to social change as well as develop strategies that link the legacy of organizing in communities of color with today's fight for social justice. Program 3: Pittsburgh, PAOur third Project is a locally based coalition initiative in Pittsburgh, which seeks to bring about change through successful policy reforms driven by low-income families. According to the Urban Institutes recent study on racial equity across the US, Pittsburgh scores an overall F, landing in the 85th spot compared to other metropolitan regions. 297037 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 13 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X Patricia Foley 5105896820 900 Alice St Oakland CA 94607 Stephanie Luce Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Pitts Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lian Cheun Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Louis Guida Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Taylor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Solomon Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Faron McLurkin Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 75000 0 0 75000 0 false false false 0 349800 349800 Fee for Service 9893 9893 Fiscal Sponsor Fee Income 385 385 10278 5171 5171 0 0 0 69661 50000 19661 19661 19661 0 0 0 0 384910 10278 24832 3796 3796 0 0 0 75000 56250 9375 9375 0 132497 80037 5234 47226 5340 4722 215 403 12049 5812 1250 4987 20897 16227 4061 609 0 0 15959 15959 0 0 0 8406 6575 516 1315 0 1553 676 503 374 6535 4442 1757 336 0 23950 12970 9297 1683 33149 31152 976 1021 0 4209 4117 92 0 0 0 6667 3076 3471 120 Program Space Rental 54346 54346 Equipment Rental/Mtc 8856 6819 1771 266 Professional Development 5325 5325 Payroll service fees 3592 3592 3607 695 2653 259 425733 297037 60722 67974 153697 80953 0 0 3505 1671 0 0 287500 230375 0 3436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 448138 312999 13919 13525 93923 1 107842 13526 X -5729 299473 346025 340296 299473 448138 312999 -40823 X false false false X 1336413 519991 216340 427323 349800 2849867 0 0 1336413 519991 216340 427323 349800 2849867 1870878 978989 24832 24832 0 0 2874699 151290 0.34060 0.60060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Rounding 1 1 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Form 990 is reviewed by the Executive Director before filing.
