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

We welcome a culturally sensitive strategist to help us successfully plan way forward: Africano provides holistic services for underserved youth who are 1st and 2nd generation children of African immigrants to build their confidence and instill pride in their African heritage, which in turn helps them progress best with their education. Our community has been heavily-impacted by Covid - many of the parents are in the healthcare field, and many got sick, some dying, or lost their jobs.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a mini strategic plan, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have have some surveys done, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to support with capacity buidling

We will work with a professional which helps us set sustainable structures to ensure solid long-lasting existence

Facilitated Strategy Session Project

Juliet is awesome. I know she really appreciated the help she received from Catchafire, both on this project and some others. She is very energetic and benefitted from a systematic way to view what she's doing and trying to accomplish. I think she got a lot out of the approach and I know I enjoyed working with her enormounsly.
