Empowering Advocacy and Action Through Nonprofit-Powered Training
LinkedIn for Nonprofits
Connecting nonprofit professionals with the resources they need to change the world.
Welcome to the latest edition of Moving Forward, a newsletter designed to help nonprofits exchange ideas and learn from one another to unlock the full potential of the sector.?
Sometimes, supporters may care deeply about your nonprofit’s cause but feel uncertain about how they can make a meaningful difference in their communities. These supporters could become powerful on-the-ground advocates — with a little support and encouragement.
One way to offer that is through training. To learn more about this strategy, we spoke to Phyllis Cuttino , President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project , an organization that equips passionate individuals with the training, tools, and network they need to fight climate change.
The Climate Reality Project helps individuals from all walks of life to be part of the solution. What goes into creating resources that are accessible and empowering to individuals with varying degrees of knowledge about your mission?
We develop resources that reflect not only the latest climate science, impacts, and solutions, but also the voices of communities on the front lines of the climate crisis.?
We meet people where they're at, using everyday language accessible to anyone. We also partner with experts and leaders who can speak to the most pressing climate challenges or key opportunities for their communities.
Through your Climate Reality Leadership Corps trainings, you empower advocates to successfully champion environmental sustainability in their organizations and communities. What advice would you share with other nonprofits interested in providing this kind of mission-driven upskilling to employees, volunteers, or external advocates?
The Climate Reality Leadership Corps is at the heart of our work to inspire people to act on the climate crisis and, together, build a true net-zero future. A key to its success is fostering an inclusive, dynamic network with two-way communication.?
People come to us because they want to make a difference. We continuously listen to feedback from our Leaders and work to improve the tools we offer and experience for future trainees accordingly.
Your organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion statement highlights the importance of ensuring all voices are heard when tackling major issues like climate change. What can other nonprofits do to invite more diverse voices into the conversation, regardless of their cause?
Building a strong and effective movement starts with engaging diverse stakeholders to help lead.?
We know that the communities closest to climate impacts and other problems are the best positioned to craft solutions. We work with and alongside front-line communities and a wide range of other stakeholders as a supportive ally in the fight, and we strive to ensure that our programming and materials reflect their ideas, voices, and input. When audiences see their experiences in our work, they're more inclined to be active and engaged.

1 年Imagine. You give away holidays for donations. The greatest challenge is to make it plausible. A $100 donation gives the donor a $100 Hotel Savings Card plus a 3-night resort stay.

1 年I love this quote by Phyllis Cuttino: "Building a strong and effective movement starts with engaging diverse stakeholders to help lead". Too often, we are only speaking to the usual suspects and connecting with the same people, yet building a diverse community of supporters can make all the difference!
