“Building Organizational Capacity"
Recommended for Third Year - Fall Semester
Theme Overview: In their junior year, students positions’ involve projects that help to build the capacity of an organization or community. These may include volunteer management, training development, brochure design, fundraising, communications and marketing, research, and more. Some students may engage in social action campaigns. These guides will equip students with a comprehensive, effective approach to building an organization's capacity. As programs integrate a junior and/or senior year capstone, the capstone workshop will prepare students to finalize their own work plans, involvement of advisors, and realistic timeline and supports.
Note: where not listed separately, handouts are built within downloadable modules. Workshop modules are uploaded in Pages and PDF. If you use Microsoft Word and want a text version, download the Pages version and open in Word. The Foundation does not use Word and cannot format documents in it. We recommend you download the PDF version as a check.
