Pick & Choose for Your Agency
From 2010 to 2017, I offered a policy course for staff and volunteers in non-profit organizations. Since 2018 , I have taken my policy course ‘on the road’.
You can view all of my course offerings from this Dropbox page.
I cover topics such as:
- engaging funders in policy change
- understanding civil servants and political staff
- promoting vertical conversations
- cost benefit analysis
- evaluating social programs
Over the years, a number of organizations wishing policy training have looked over my course and chosen a number of modules for me to present to their staff to improve their policy literacy.
The bad news is that there is enough material to deliver 60 hours of policy training. The good news is that you can pick and choose the modules that you find relevant for your staff or client.
Over the years, I have delivered policy training to or on behalf of the Metcalf Foundation, Essential Skills Ontario, the Maytree Foundation, OCASI, the Wellesley Institute and others.
Contact me to talk about your policy training needs.
