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.

Individualized Series
The individualized series for organizations is a set of strategic planning sessions that is created to fit an organization’s needs. Enlace conducts an in-depth organizational analysis and creates a series of tailored workshops and trainings that enable directors, staff, and leaders to become more strategic and focused in their work. These trainings give organizations structured processes for continually improving teamwork. Enlace provides tools to look with a critical lens at what they currently have and help them to create systems in areas that are lacking. They improve participation levels, mutual accountability, the usefulness of meetings, and strategic planning for effective campaigns and innovative programs. This series helps an organization develop the capability to undertake campaigns that they were previously unable to tackle.
The major components of this training series are:
•An organizational needs assessment. Enlace staff conduct interviews and work with the staff and/or member leadership of the organization to develop a specialized training design based on an in-depth analysis of the top leadership’s goals.
•Workshops designed to provide training, planning, strategizing, evaluation, organizational development and regeneration assistance to ensure that the organization is equipped to accomplish what the leadership intends and to sustain a proactive mode in continuing their work.
•Follow-up/evaluation between workshops by Enlace staff members to ensure the success of the program.
•On-going training (in addition to the four workshops) of a coach to serve as an internal resource to the leadership of the organization. Participating organizations are required to assign a peer trainer to the Enlace Institute.
Goals for the series:
•Evaluation and analysis of what works and what doesn’t within an organization
•Organizations improve structure and dynamics through use of systems
•Provide tools for organizational development in an experiential setting
•More effective and focused campaigns
