The C.L. Dellums African American Union Leadership School welcomes participation regardless of race, ethnicity, color, sex, or national origin.

The California Union Leadership School (CULS) provides union officers and staff with an opportunity to develop the leadership, management, and organizing skills needed to be truly effective leaders. The year-long program is comprised of a week-long intensive retreat in the Spring and two follow-up sessions later in the year. Participants come from a variety of union experiences, including public, private, and building and construction trades sectors.

Co-sponsored by the California Labor Federation

Five-day training typically held each March.

The California Lead Organizers Institute For Labor and Community Organizers (CLOI) brings together lead organizers and aspiring lead organizers from unions and community-based organizations to collectively enhance campaign skills and develop a deeper understanding of the critical issues affecting working people in California.

The next CLOI program will be in February 2010. Please check back in late 2009 for more information.
