Preferred registration deadline: October 16th This workshop will be conducted in a virtual Zoom meeting online format. 3 CEUs/CPH units Addressing an unmet need in an urban community setting requires both creativity and diligence - to define the need, identify resources, and organize people around a common vision of what’s possible. This interactive workshop will walk participants through practices to identify and assemble a core group of concerned people to advance a social issue. The key consideration of whether a new, formal organization is needed will be addressed, along with an overview of the requirements – and myths – regarding not-for-profit organizations. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of relationships – to lead your initiative, secure funding for it, and gain community support for your cause.
