Expression of interest for community partners
The Building Connected Communities project by the Community Development Learning Initiative is looking for community partners who are interested in hosting a community connector. This expression of interest is open from December 18th, 2024 - January 24th, 2025 at 5 pm.
If you are interested in becoming a community partner on ABCD capacity building opportunities please stay tuned in 2025 or email us to ask to be notified when those opportunities launch.
What is involved in being a community partner hosting a community connector?
Community partners are community organizations or grassroots projects that will host a community connector for 25 hours a week until December 31, 2026. Community partners will collaborate with CDLI to apply asset-based community development (ABCD) to their community work, provide necessary supports to the community connector (see information guide for more details), and work with CDLI and PolicyWise to contribute to the developmental evaluation framework for outcome reporting.
