We are excited to share our upcoming Movement & Capacity Building opportunities for May. This month, our community sessions are focusing on embracing an anti-racist culture on nonprofit boards and fundraising. We are also excited to offer multiple in-depth cohort learning opportunities for CZI current grantees on DEI, communications, and access to leadership coaching.
We’re also thrilled to announce the second cohort of our Early-Career Communications Cohort with Lightbox Collective.
This year's program will focus on core communication skills such as press outreach, social media strategy, pitching, and much more. You can read more about the opportunity here and below.
As always, we invite you to visit our Wistia page to view past training sessions from 2022 and to submit any of your feedback on our programming using this form.
Sincerely,
Judith Freeman
Director, Movement & Capacity Building

Current CZI grantees are eligible to sign up for one-on-one coaching sessions with our training partners after attending the training sessions. Each current CZI grantee may sign up for up to two hours of coaching for their organization and should determine which members of their team would most benefit from this allocated coaching time. Places are limited and booked on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please ensure you can attend before you book time with any of these coaches.
