Building Partnerships: a Self-Help Model for Community Involvement 

Thursday, November 16, 1 to 4 pm , $15 

 

The purpose of this workshop is to assist you in building partnerships
between various groups by focusing on your common interests. In this
workshop the participants will learn how to partner with other
organizations, local agencies and community members. Topics covered include
community-based partnerships, benefits of partnerships, parameters of a
successful partnership and the barriers to build one.  Practical group work

for future partnership building.
