The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond was formed in 1980 as a cooperative effort between two prominent social change organizations: Help Us Make A Nation (HUMAN) and The Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice (SOC). Founders, Dr. Jim Dunn and Ron Chisom, worked to establish a training institute that provides not only community organizing skills, but an analysis, principles, and values that make these skills useful. They have trained thousands of people across the country.
