This series is designed to build off previous series’ exploration of models and strategies to support community-centered and community-led solutions that support well-being and equity outcomes. This virtual learning series is for all YTFG members.
LEARNING SERIES DESIRED OUTCOMES:
To continue to learn from innovative community leaders what it means to build true community-designed and community-led solutions that support youth and family well-being.
To understand more concretely what community leaders and organizations need and want from system leaders (and funders) to advance and accelerate community-centered work.
To explore community-system partnerships and shared decision making tables that aim to set new norms for co-design, transparency and accountability.
To explore how systems can approach community relationships to gain trust, build capacity, and promote greater investment in upstream approaches
To identify additional learning opportunities for YTFG members.
For the final session of the learning series on Community Designed Initiatives, we are thrilled that several of the lead presenters from our previous sessions have agreed to re-join us to take stock of what we've learned throughout the series and go deeper on the role of philanthropy when investing in community designed initiatives. These presenters include:
Cheri Craft, M.Ed, Founder and CEO, Smart from the Start
Trey Hartt, Co-founder and Managing Director, The Hive
Jessica Nowlan, President, Reimagine Freedom
During our final session we will explore the questions that members posed in a survey we conducted last year. Questions we'll address include:
How can we grow and sustain community designed initiatives over the long term?
How can community led work be supported by public dollars for sustainability?
How can community led grantmaking initiatives be connected to systems change work?
What are the most powerful methods for evaluating community-designed initiatives?
How can we institutionalize community-led work without losing the special sauce?
