To address complex and systemic issues, more and more nonprofits are choosing to work collaboratively with each other. But how does that work? What tools do you need to form vibrant collaborative relationships? How do you facilitate these discussions to come up with joint decisions? 

Join us for a 2-day workshop aimed at developing your facilitation skills! 

What you’ll learn:  

  • Basics of facilitation – what is it, why is it important, and how it supports collaboration  
  • Meeting design – the “how-to’s,” useful tips, and tools 
  • Meeting facilitation – stages and flows of conversation, soliciting feedback, and partnership building  
  • Collaborative decisions – How to support group decision making and help guide next steps 

Who is this workshop designed for? 

  • People who are relatively new to facilitation or have some experience but are new to facilitating collaborations between non-profits and/or community partners 
  • People who work within a non-profit organization and are facilitating internal meetings or multi-partner collaborations  

This training may not be for you if you:   

  • Consider yourself an expert/professional facilitator  
  • Have recent formal facilitation training  

Following the 2-day workshop, we will host 3 coaching sessions (monthly from May to July) to provide additional opportunities for participants to practice their newly developed skills and get feedback from the workshop facilitators and their peers.
