Library and Records: Collecting and organizing communal resources for activists will be an ongoing project for the center. We hope these projects are led by the librarian and historians. Please donate any books, movies, pamphlets, flyers, files, etc. that deal with current or past activist projects on or outside of the Grinnell campus.
Point People: Dayna Hamann [hamannda]
Networking: We are working to maintain current lists of useful contacts on campus, in the Grinnell community, Iowa, and the greater Midwest. Some examples of lists we are building are activist groups, media outlets, alumni activists, Grinnell community groups, and Midwest centers similar to the Voicebox.
This project, along with the library and records are in place to improve the sustainability of activist projects and movements at Grinnell as well as to make organizing easier for our activists.

Trainings and Workshops: Individuals of groups with abilities or knowledge of specific skills relevant to activism are encouraged to give workshops or trainings sponsored by the Voicebox. It could be a one-time workshop or an ongoing training. All ideas are welcome.
The Voicebox staff will also be conducting workshops on how to use/find the resources the center has available. Anyone from the Grinnell community is welcome.
