The Mobilizer’s Guidebook has been one of Mobilize.org’s most successful resources, outlining tools to help Millennials improve their communities and their campuses, as well as become more engaged in the political process. The Mobilizer’s Guidebook was created in 2005 by a team of staff members and interns who set out to write a collection of the lessons that they wished they had been taught when launching an organization, starting a campaign or building a coalition.

The ten steps outlined in the Mobilizer’s Guidebook tell the story of the founding of Mobilize.org and is a document for which we invite you to lend your voice, your story and your resources to improve.
