Community Workshop: For Agency and Organizational Representatives
Posted on August 7, 2012 by VIA in Lee CountyVoices into Action: The Families, Food, and Health Project is holding a special workshop for valued partners on September 28th and 29th, and we’d like to invite you or a representative from your organization to participate.
What does the workshop involve?
This workshop explores the assets and networks available in Lee County around food access and access to places to be active. We will have input from community members, community leaders, and organizations that serve the community, and a chance to develop action plans and partnerships.
Why should our organization participate?
This is a unique opportunity for your organization to hear feedback from a group of community members regarding what local services and resources they use, what organizations they trust, and what they identify as needs to be addressed. It aims to be a springboard for small projects, and may create partnerships or initiatives that can receive funds from Voices into Action mini-grantsin the future. We will make the results of the workshop and the needs identified by community members available for organizations to use for future projects or grant-writing.
