Project Management for Community Engagement 204

A 6 week, self-paced training program where you will each continue the development of your nonprofit project. Each one of the assignments will be a concrete step in preparing your project for launch and eventual takeover. By the end of the 6 weeks, you will have developed a management plan and a simple monitoring and evaluation plan for the community to use—and you will have launched the project.

Project Management: Learn by doing.

We also need to make sure that we successfully deliver a set of skills to the community through a family of workshops so that they will be able to implement the project activities alongside us. You will launch the project and orchestrate for the project handover to the community at the end of your grant cycle.

How will you you learn about Project Management?

A dual approach will be used in this course:
1. The course will lead you through the continued development of your project by working closely with and engaging community members.
2. For long-term sustainability you will begin training and preparing community members for eventual project take-over when it’s time for your NGO to move onto another project.

Who should take this Project Management course?

1. This course is perfect for nonprofit professionals working in areas as varied as food banks, animal welfare, teen drop-in centers, homeless shelters, day care centers, arts & culture, education, health, human services, community development, and environmental restoration—and who want to develop practitioner-level skills. If you are a grant writer, nonprofit staff member, consultant, project manager—or an executive director—you will develop real skills mastery.

2. This course is just as relevant to a person considering a career transition into the nonprofit world and wanting to develop employable skills.
