Join us on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 from 6:00 – 8:00pm for an event about  nonprofit community engagement. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the difference between outreach and authentic community engagement. Participants will discuss what community engagement looks like in their organizations and access tools and resources that will help them bring the conversation back to their organizations to initiate meaningful change.
