Communication and Feedback Practices to Strengthen Cross-Sector Partnership
When community-based organizations and schools are immersed in the work of serving youth and families, it can be difficult to find time to invest in relationships between the adults and organizations who are coordinating services. And yet, lack of communication and coordination can lead to challenges and conflict. In this interactive virtual workshop, we will explore ways to build a culture of open and effective communication within our partnerships, including giving and receiving feedback. Participants will become familiar with tools that support communication and equitable facilitation of meetings and identify Feedback Touch Points to incorporate into their collaborative relationships.
King County School and Community Partnerships Cohort – Registration Deadline
Best Starts for Kids School and Community Partnerships Cohort: Are you a community-based organization or school providing services to youth in King County? Are you interested in connecting and sharing best practices with colleagues who are engaged in school-community partnerships? This spring we are launching our fourth School-Community Partnerships Cohort. This professional development opportunity will bring together a cohort of community-based organization and school site coordinators to participate in a peer learning group focused on school-community partnerships, with training on strategies and tools from the School and Community Partnership Toolkit.
Program Design in a Partnership Context: Linking Activities to Outcomes
What does it look like to design a program – and a partnership – with outcomes in mind? This virtual workshop will support youth-serving programs to describe and refine their program plans using a logic model framework, including identifying inputs, outputs (program and/or partnership activities and participation), and short-term, medium-term, and long-term outcomes. We will invite you to consider how your partnership activities and outcomes influence program activities and outcomes. In this interactive session, we will offer time within the workshop for participants to learn from another person in the field or work collaboratively with partners attending the session together.
