Training that will be offered at the CEN Training and Information Center in Petion-Ville
Project Design: In partnership with The
Foundation Center – Washington
DC, we will offer
training services through our Petion-Ville local center. Visitors to our center
will also have free access to fundraising databases and resource materials. They will
be able to attend a wide variety of free classes on topics such as:
Project Design, Finding Donors, Fundraising Planning, Developing Proposals,
Managing Nonprofits etc.
For a fee, we will also provide tailored and specialized fundraising and
organizational and leadership development services to nonprofit organizations,
national organizations and associations. Community Service: In order to create healthy, prosperous, and
safe communities, in partnership with local organizations*, we
will provide community service training in schools, churches and other
venues to inspire and empower the citizen to serve their
communities. Our community service training will serve to
reveal the greatness that is in everyone, by providing education,
facilitating community development, and creating opportunities for
them to acquire employment skills.
*We
have already discussed partnership with local organizations in Haiti that are
already providing similar trainings.
Service Learning: Service learning is a
method by which students improve academic learning and develop personal skills
through structured service projects that meet community needs. Service learning
builds upon students' service activities by providing them with opportunities
to learn by preparing, leading, and reflecting upon issues in their
communities. (Illinois Board of Education)
We will work with Universities and other schools to have service
learning integrated in their academic curriculum. In partnership with
universities and colleges in US, we will provide training to
educators so that they can facilitate learning by creating opportunities for
students to understand and analyze their service experiences in the context of
their coursework.
Many studies have suggested that effective service learning programs have
the following benefits:
·improve academic grades;
·increase attendance in
school; and
·develop personal and
social responsibility
*We contacted faculty members and
students of University of the District of Columbia and American University
to enquire about possible partnership.
