Core Teams

A core team is a team of people, within a Calgary Alliance member organization, that is focused on how to apply the practices of community organizing within their organization. Their purpose is to:

  1. Strengthen their organization and its mission.
  2. To connect the member organization to the work of the broader alliance.
  3. To maintain the membership, including dues, of the member organization.

Below is a copy of the Core Team Handbook that the Calgary Alliance published in 2021 to help with the organizing and growth of core teams.
