Power mapping is a valuable tool for those actively working with communities, providing a simple framework and a set of tools to better understand and leverage relationships and networks. A visual tool for addressing issues and problem solving, power mapping helps to identify the best targets to advance an agenda and inform policy and conceptualize the sphere of a person or group’s influence.

“Power Mapping: A Tool for Activating Networks” and the facilitator guide were generated by Gonzalo Casals, Anusha Venkataraman and Hatuey Ramos-Fermín, with help from NOCD-NY and The Laundromat Project. Contact NOCD-NY if you would like more information on how to conduct your own session.
