Description
Communities already have many strengths, skills, and resources, and plenty of people ready to step up and help out. Engaging community partners in a meaningful and collaborative way can help your nonprofit’s services and digital inclusion programs flourish.
In this course, you’ll explore methods for evaluating your organizational practices and program needs while identifying community assets. Using an asset mapping framework grounded in race, social justice, and digital inclusion, you’ll learn how to assess potential partnerships and plan diverse, inclusive collaborations. You’ll also get tips on working with community, private, and government organizations and integrating them into your development and management of programs and policies.
