Effective Community Engagement: Involving the Community in Your Mission

Description:

Nonprofits share a common goal: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people they serve. Yet many organizations struggle with a persistent challenge—how to genuinely involve their community in shaping programs and decisions.

While most nonprofits recognize the importance of community engagement, they often lack clear, practical strategies for hearing from the people most impacted by their mission. Limited time, lean budgets, and uncertainty about where to begin can make meaningful engagement feel out of reach.

In this webinar, Mindy Muller will explore how nonprofits can move beyond good intentions to build authentic, effective community engagement practices that strengthen programs and deepen impact.

You’ll learn:

• what true community engagement looks like and what it is not;
• concrete strategies for reaching into your community and gathering meaningful input;
• ways to involve community members in identifying needs and shaping solutions; and
• approaches that work for small, resource-constrained organizations as well as larger nonprofits.

You’ll leave with innovative, practical ways you can connect with your community and elevate the voices, ideas, and perspectives of those impacted by your nonprofit’s mission.

Who should attend:

This session is valuable for nonprofit leaders at all levels—from board members and executive staff to front-line program managers—who want to better listen to and meaningfully involve their community in mission-driven programming.

After the webinar, you’ll receive:

• slides and handouts; and
• a link to the webinar recording.
