6. Training — What Every Volunteer Needs to Know
Before you recruit a single volunteer, complete the education modules at peopleprimaries.com. The platform, built on an e-learning framework, provides structured learning paths that team members complete to demonstrate progress and earn access to organizing tools. You will learn the organizing framework, connect with team members from other districts who have already formed, and — most important — you will be visible to the workers in your district who are looking for a team to join. They are out there. They are waiting. peopleprimaries.com is where you find each other, organize, and claim your district’s page. Once your team has been confirmed as legitimate and prepared, elevated access is granted by vote of the teams in your district.
