Repositioning Nonprofits as a Powerful Collective Force for Systems Change

press release: Learn about a new initiative to provide resources, tools and network-building opportunities to increase capacity of nonprofits, deepen their impact at the underlying systems level, and provide more permanent solutions to crucial community problems.

Wednesday, March 14, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, Lussier Community Education Center, 55 S Gammon Road

If things are going to really change, we need to shift attention from modest service goals providing temporary relief for some to courageous actions that challenge and change the economic, social, and political systems that make up the root causes of the many problems we face.

For this shift to occur, we must reassess our work in the nonprofit sector—especially those nonprofits working in low-income communities. Nonprofits need to direct more efforts at actually changing the underlying systems. While we continue to provide services to individuals in desperate need, we must now reposition the community-based nonprofit sector as a powerful force for social change at the underlying systems level.

Learn more about this important, new initiative by attending the presentation at the Lussier Community Education Center. Please register for the event here.
