Nonprofits and Community Engagement
Workshop Details:
What is community engagement? If you’re a nonprofit, aren’t you engaged already? Not-for-profit organizations are, by definition, connected to the communities and stakeholders they serve. However, the question that frequently arises in both new and mature organizations is: "What does it mean to be truly ‘engaged’?"
This workshop will introduce participants to the concepts, tools and leadership steps necessary to build healthy community engagement. Work through a case study as the workshop participants take an actual initiative and develop an engagement plan.
Topics:
- Ways to connect with stakeholders, clients, and the community.
- Mobilizing sustainable support.
- Connecting your resources to clients’ needs.
- Recruiting others to advance your mission,
- Building lasting relationships with the community.
Objectives:
- Gain understanding of the importance of community engagement for not-for-profit organizations.
- Build individual skills and knowledge in community engagement practices and techniques.
- Link participants with resources for engagement.
