Group Building and Leadership

RESULTS’ success over the past three decades is due largely to our our local groups, or chapters, and the extensive support structure we have created for them. With the support of the group and the larger RESULTS network, activists who start with no experience can become highly effective, savvy activists who are knowledgeable about policy and bold about making change happen.
