Learning to Engage Your Community through Experiential Learning

Are you goal-oriented? As versatile nonprofit professionals, we often get caught up in the weeds of everyday tasks and forget our big-picture outcomes.  Join us for this 2-hour session, where participants will identify the needs and challenges their team or organization is currently facing and translate those needs into conquerable projects.

The workshop will be designed with 2 parts – first, a general orientation to Human-centered design strategies, followed by a hands-on activity to build strategies that engage your community to achieve shared goals.  Moreover, workshop attendees will learn about ways to partner with the university through new and innovative programming and services designed to support and scale engagement across our campus and community. This workshop is brought to The Center of Healthy Nonprofits by the University of Arizona’s Student Engagement & Career Development department.

This event will be held in person at the Community Foundation Campus from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. 

Light refreshments will be provided during this session.
