Enlace
Enlace is a strategic alliance of low-wage worker centers, unions, and community organizations in Mexico and in the U.S. We partner with our member organizations in international campaigns to motivate abusive multi-sector transnational corporations to treat workers and communities with dignity and respect.
Enlace uses an integrated approach to organizing, creating unique campaign strategies while developing systems strengthening organizations internally. Our strategies often cross industrial and sector lines for reasons relating to both workforce development and campaign strategy.
In addition, the Enlace Institute presents trainings in strategic organization development that were developed over the many years of learning through our campaigns. Our collaborative brainstorming processes are useful for virtually all work groups in base-building organizations.

Frameworks for High Performance Organizations
These are collaborative brainstorming processes that are useful for virtually all work groups in base-building organizations, including top staff leadership teams, strategy groups, organizing teams, boards of directors, and teams that include volunteers, unless otherwise noted. A few can be used by an individual. Enlace Director Peter Cervantes-Gautschi first developed the frameworks in the 1980s. They have been built upon and improved over the past 12 years by Enlace trainers and participants from more than 70 organizations.
Integrated Organizing Approach
Enlace is striving to create a new field of strategic organizational development that will allow grassroots organizations to deal with global challenges to their organizing campaigns.
Since 1998, through working with our members on their campaigns and through Enlace trainings, we have created a methodology called the Integrated Organizing Approach that combines the following to guarantee success: strategic campaign development, the creation of international alliances, and continual internal improvement of the organization.
