Where have we been?

Where are we now?

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3

Phase 1 (2016)

We recruited stakeholders to analyze the problem, created a beginning set of system elements, and began considering a framework for a Detroit community development system.

Phase 2 (2017-2018)

We formed an Advisory Council, conducted extensive research resulting in a specific set of challenges and created Task Forces to respond to those challenges and develop test-projects for most of the elements.

Phase 3 (2019-2020)

Stakeholders will champion elements of the system, working closely with CDOs and GROs, by “test-piloting” project ideas:

  • Coordination of Capacity Building Services
  • Community Development Career Navigation Model
  • Neighborhood Vitality Success Framework
  • Neighborhood Voice and Advocacy Framework
  • At least two city-CDO funded partnerships

Simultaneously we will:

  • Activate the System Capitalization element
  • Establish a governance/oversight structure
  • Develop a process to resolve CDO coverage for all neighborhoods

 Managing Your Social Impact Career… Authentically

Thursday, November 18, 1– 1PM

 

Nonprofit and social impact professionals desire realness in our lives.

We strive to align our values, beliefs and attitudes with the work we do, and crave authentic relationships with the individuals and communities we’re privileged to serve. Navigating those desires against the reality of work challenges and career choices is not always a straightforward process — but, the journey can be deeply rewarding.

If you’ve ever thought about being more authentic in what you do and how you do it, join us for a new workshop as part of our Social Impact Leader Series in partnership with YNPN DetroitLed by Dr. David Brown Jr., executive coach, author, and authenticity thought leader, this workshop is designed to provide participants with a cutting-edge perspective on how to manage their social impact careers in a way that increases personal satisfaction and aligns to a sense of purpose.

The workshop will incorporate aspects of storytelling, guided introspection and strategic tips and tools, while introducing foundational authenticity concepts.
