Webinar: Capacity-Building Toolkit

Next week, the Promise Neighborhoods Institute (PNI), of which Center for the Study of Social Policy is a partner, is hosting a webinar to announce the release of a Capacity-Building Toolkit, a free resource intended to help communities using a Promise Neighborhoods approach to determine the level of "back office" support their initiative needs to sustain and grow their efforts over time. The toolkit was developed through research and conversations with leaders in the field, and contains spreadsheets to help communities estimate they type of staff support they will need as their initiative expands. The webinar will feature Dr. Randal Pinkett, President and CEO of BCT Partners.

The webinar will take place on Tuesday, July 17 from 3:00 - 5:00 EST. For those of you who are unable to participate in this event, PNI will make a recording available shortly after its conclusion. For more information about this webinar and a link to register, please go here.
