Community Service Organisation
Power grows when we stand together
We empower communities to organise, build local leadership, and create lasting change through relational power.
Renewal is possible. We’ve done it before.
Inspired by the original Community Service Organisation (CSO) founded in California in the 1950s under the leadership of Fred Ross Sr., we teach people how to build grassroots power by connecting and organising within their own communities.
What We Do:
Train individuals to hold effective house meetings that form the foundation of grassroots organising.
Help communities structure and sustain local organisations through relational meetings.
Provide resources and guidance to empower leaders and drive collective action.
Strengthen relationships and build networks that support long-term community resilience.
Our focus is on equipping communities with the tools to organise themselves, ensuring that power is shared and voices are heard.
Ready to organise for change?
We’re creating a nationwide network of community power to strengthen local action where it’s needed most. By providing long-term support, we aim to foster resilient communities with the capacity to address their own challenges effectively.
Whether you can host a house meeting, help organise in your area, or simply contribute your time and energy, your role matters. Join us in building a movement that empowers people and transforms communities.
People, power, place
