Network COVID-19 Engagement Series: Examining Our Work in the Face of Changing Times

The COVID-19 crisis continues to alter the ways in which we do our work. Organizations have had to act fast to address the needs of their communities; shift service delivery from face-to-face interactions to virtual engagements; and seek additional funding to maintain their program staff. We at Prosperity Now are continually looking for ways in which we can help support your work, and your clients and communities.

As a follow up to the Community Listening Sessions we hosted in March, Prosperity Now is hosting a Network COVID-19 Engagement Series to share the ways that community-based organizations have strategically shifted their work. We’ve heard from many practitioners and programs who are reexamining the role they play in helping alleviate needs in their communities during this crisis. We want to support you as you continue to deal with new challenges and increasing client needs, adapt your service delivery models due to constraints, and support your communities.

We hope to create a space for peer-to-peer conversation, to focus on the challenges you are facing with your work, and the ways you have addressed them. The Network series are as follows:

We hope this Network series provides a shared space of understanding as we deal with this crisis together. If you would like your organization to be featured in one of the above webinars, please send us an e-mail to [email protected].
