Foundations of
​Community Organizing

Based on the Industrial Areas Foundation's (IAF) 70+ years of experience uniting communities to create meaningful social change, this training provides an introduction to the IAF foundational leadership practices and principles of community organizing.  If you have not taken this training in the last 6 months and/or are new to MVA, this is the training for you! You will get an overview of the basics of how MVA organizes, and get caught up to speed on where we are in our work right now.

Delegates' Assembly

A Delegates’ Assembly is a cornerstone of Metro Vancouver Alliance’s (MVA) collaborative approach to community action. It brings together representatives from our member organizations in a citizens’ assembly, creating a powerful platform to engage directly with decision-makers and articulate our collective policy proposals. Focused on critical issues such as housing, climate change, and social equity, the assembly invites politicians and community leaders to join us on stage to hear the voices of those most impacted. By uniting diverse organizations under shared goals, a Delegates’ Assembly fosters meaningful dialogue and ensures that actionable solutions are placed at the forefront of public decision-making.

Save the Date: September 17, 2025
