Engaging All Voices in Your Planning Process
when: Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at 3:00 pm ET
This webinar explores why participatory processes — those that intentionally engage all stakeholders in decision-making and planning — are critically important for nonprofit planning. It explains why all voices from all levels, spanning those who access an organization’s services, those with relevant lived experience, partners, board members, donors, staff, volunteers, and community members, should be engaged to share their expertise, insights, and ideas. Panelists will then provide an overview of how to maximize stakeholder participation in planning and program design.

WEBINAR two
Access for everyone: Reimagining services for survivors
when: Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at 3:00 pm ET
This webinar responds to the question: how can domestic violence organizations be redesigned to reduce the hurdles people face trying to access services? Panelists will outline what prevents survivors from accessing shelter – such as their need to bring pets and children – and explore how shelter accessibility can be improved. This will include consideration of how to support survivors who are navigating services after polyvictimization (the experience of multiple kinds of trauma, such as sexual violence and homelessness, or domestic violence and human trafficking). Panelists will also set out how to engage those who need shelter in service design.

WEBINAR three
Mythbusting Homelessness:
How fallacies prevent homelessness from being addressed
when: Wednesday, November 21, 2024 at 3:00 pm ET
Public narratives about homelessness include that homeless populations are “shipped” to particular places, that mental illness causes homelessness, and that a city that provides comprehensive homeless services will become a mecca for people experiencing homelessness. Data do not support these notions. In this webinar, panelists will directly address common myths about homelessness, using research to set the record straight. They will then discuss best and emerging evidence-based practices for effectively addressing homelessness.
