BCYF Event: Partnership Development 101 for Community Based Mentoring Programs | 5:30P – 7:30P

Partnership development is consistently ranked among the highest need areas for community based organizations. Yet programs that develop successful partnerships are more sustainable, have better reputations in the community and see better outcomes. In this session, we explore best practices for creating long lasting partnerships for the benefit of young people.

Learning Objective: Participants will explore and gain greater awareness of the promising benefits that are derived from forming successful partnerships with other community organizations that have youth-centered mission and goals. Participants will understand how partnerships and collaborations can serve to strengthen, support and transform individual partners, resulting in improved program quality, more efficient use of resources, and better alignment of goals and program’s outcomes for youth.
