Facilitated Strategy Session

Project details

What we need
  • Expert third party advice on process or managerial changes, geographic or programmatic expansion, potential pivots, or general strategic planning
  • Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
  • Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
Additional details

Training of the Trainer- if we develop this kind of program internally and then offer it to partners, is that colonial? I would love to focus on Diversity Equity and Inclusion. How we can get out ahead of any of these concerns- diversifying our board, having more of our leadership reflect the communities we serve... and so on.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a strategic plan..., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a number of partners we can interview and involve, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to continue to provide our programming free of charge to our students.

We are brokering more partnerships and as we expand, these issues will be more and more relevant. And, I would love us to be ahead of the curve on these concerns.

What we do

Photo Start develops creative visual storytelling and digital skills, and inspires confidence in under-resourced young people.

Our program is designed to help under-resourced young people develop their creativity, technical skills, and self-confidence, while also providing them with a sense of purpose and the competencies they need to shape their own lives and contribute to the lives of others.

We believe all young people have extraordinary potential.
