Free Webinar: Building Capacity

The Boot Camp Training Model for Maturing Your Field

Tuesday, April 9, 2013
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (Eastern)

Foundations, associations and “hub n’ spoke” organizations that support a community of smaller affiliated offices, independent chapters, or even volunteer groups face a shared challenge: how to mature the whole field? The organizations under their umbrella are often out of step with critical new technology, new best practices and organizational thinking and often out of step with each other. Community building orgs are looking to create programs to teach affiliate’s new skills and build shared capacity, but what is a model that works?

This Nonprofit Webinars session will outline a “Boot Camp” model for capacity building for any organizations that provide training, coaching and incentives to help their grantees/affiliates advance their fields. We’ll highlight the Boot Camp approach and focus on top tips for how to use gamification and incentives to get otherwise reluctant affiliates/umbrella orgs to learn and apply new thinking and technologies.
