Dear Community Healers,
Building your leadership skills while growing your organization can feel overwhelming, especially with limited resources and narrowly focused funding opportunities. Comprehensive training programs that focus on organizational development, leadership, program design, and navigating Illinois’ GATA portal are rare.
That’s why Nonprofit Utopia, LLC is thrilled to partner with State Senator Lakesia Collins (5th District) to offer Capacity Building for Community Healers. This intensive training, available to nonprofit leaders in North Lawndale, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park, Englewood, and Austin, will equip you with essential tools for success.
Program Details:
- Facilitators:
- Valerie F. Leonard, Founder, Nonprofit Utopia, LLC
- Cecile DeMello, Executive Director, Teamwork Englewood
- Dates: January 21 – May 10, 2025
- Cost: Free (valued at $3,750–$15,000 per person)
While tuition is waived, we expect a strong commitment to completing weekly workshops and assignments, with your supervisor’s or board chair’s support. If you’re interested, please complete the short application below and feel free to share it with your network.
