Community Protection Cohort Signup
Thank you for your interest in Political Healers Project's Community Protection Cohort! This cohort aims to train and develop community leaders and movement builders to establish and manage local protection teams around issues where their communities are most vulnerable. Leaders who participate in this cohort will be developed utilizing the 4 Pillars PIES practice of story sharing, healing practice, political education, and call-to-action, or more specifically through the following development activities:
  • Peer support & accountability teams (spiritual)
  • Healing practice & emotional intelligence development (emotional)
  • Training & political education (intellectual)
  • Strategy breakouts (physical)

Training & political education will be an intersection between the following development areas: 

  1. Power building/base building & managing teams
  2. Issue cutting/campaign development
  3. Healing & trauma-informed practice

Completing this form is the first step in joining the program. You will then be invited to attend an orientation to learn more about the year-long leadership development program. If after attending this orientation, you're still interested in joining this cohort, you will be invited into a one-on-one interview about your leadership development and protection work. The cohort coaching team will then deliberate and will select up to 20 participants for the first cohort, which will officially form in December 2022. To recap, the steps to participating in the cohort are as follows:

Step 1: complete this form
Step 2: attend a community protection leadership development program orientation
Step 3: complete a one-to-one interview with a protection coach
Step 4 (if approved): participate in leadership development cohort
