2026 Member Mobilization Institute

The UAW Education Department will hold its Member Mobilization Institute on April 19-24, 2026. This institute will be held at the Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center in Onaway, Michigan.

This institute transforms committed union members into skilled labor movement leaders ready to build union power from the inside out. Three focused tracks offer hands-on training for rank-and-file members and local leaders who want to step up their involvement or sharpen their existing skills as
union advocates.

New Activists Track: For newer UAW members or those just now getting involved, this track will help you find your path and develop skills to take action that makes a difference!

Internal Mobilizing Track: Ready to energize your membership and increase engagement throughout your local? This track gives you the tools to grow solidarity and build collective power.

External Organizing Track: Whether you’re curious about organizing or already part of an Organizing Committee, this track provides a roadmap for those passionate about bringing new workers into the movement.
