Four groups have joined forces to stage a free workshop aimed at helping organisations to be more effective in reaching their goals.

The goal is to help grassroots organisations working on issues related to the environment, social justice, youth and the elderly, to be more effective in their efforts at community organising and in achieving their goals.

The Community Empowerment Workshop is a joint initiative by the Bermuda Environmental and Sustainability Taskforce (BEST), the Bermuda Voter's Rights Association (VRA), Save Open Spaces (SOS) and the Bermuda Education Parent's Association (BEPA).

Training will be held on Saturday, March 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., followed by a focused strategy session on Sunday, March 22 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the New Hall Auditorium, Bermuda College.

The workshop will be free for invitees on a first-come, first-served basis.
