The Importance of Social Emotional Infrastructure in Organizational Engagement

Each of our organizations has specific practices designed to support members not just as canvassers or facilitators but as complete human beings with social and emotional needs. We have found that when members feel that the organization says and supports their entire selves, they are far more likely to remain in the organization. Study, action, and reflection are required at every stage of involvement for people to grow into and then beyond their increasing responsibilities and expectations.
