Peer Organization Growth Academy (POGA)

The Peer Organization Growth Academy (POGA) was a one-time program developed to support peer-run organizations in Texas. The program ran from December 2023 through August 2024. It was developed specifically to support peer-run organizations in Texas. But, we hope the information is useful to peer-run organizations everywhere! 

POGA’s purpose was to enhance the knowledge and connections of peer-run organizations to facilitate the development of their organizational capacity to support growth and long-term sustainability.

The main goals of POGA were to: 
- Provide knowledge to leaders of peer-run organizations to support them in building their organizations.
- Ensure peer-run organizational leaders lead/facilitate the peer-to-peer learning experiences. 
- Support connections and networking among peer-run organizations across Texas.
