Facilitation

Are leaders in your community or state ready to talk about fundamentally changing the way you do business for young people? Then the Forum for Youth Investment stand ready to facilitate leadership meetings that take a Big Picture Approach to assessing your needs and creating long-lasting changing. Our staff taps their years of experience in youth development, education and community change to help guide stakeholders through a series of steps to bring them out of their silos and work together to achieve collective impact.

We will help your group:

• Learn the steps required to implement change (How does a community bring precision to their passion?)
• See standards for each step (In each phase of the process, what does "excellent" or "good enough" look like?)
• Discover the benefits of building new capabilities (What happens when partnerships are operating effectively and efficiently?)
• Find out what is required for successful implementation of change efforts (What kind of training, time, technology, and funding is needed?)
