Network Power Project

As we move beyond coalitions to more flexible network building, many of us are asking:

1. What are the core values of network practices?
   

2. What are key functions and roles in networks?
   

3. What skills support network practices?
   

This Fall we will partner with Building Powerful Networks to host a 3-part series on network strategies for social change.

New Generation Listening Project

This Fall we will conduct interviews with New Generation practitioners to learn about the key idea they have for improving the impact of social change, how much value that idea could generate if well executed, and opportunities for and challenges to moving in this direction.
