A couple years ago we decided to change the way we talk about our program and started calling it a "home improvement program" rather than a "housing rehab program". I think it attracts more interest that way, and rehab has a lot of negative connotat…
I haven't used Blackboard at all, but this website seems to have a lot of cool features and might work well for your project:
http://www.wikispaces.com/ They have basic packages that are not that expensive that you could play around with. You could…
At my local library this weekend, there will be a discussion about Peter Lovenheim's book "In the Neighborhood." I haven't finished it yet, but it's a really interesting story about how Peter got to know his neighbors better by sleeping over their h…
Hi there! Just received a copy of "This Could Be the Start of Something Big: How Social Movements for Regional Equity Are Reshaping Metropolitan America," by Manuel, Jr. Pastor, Chris Benner, and Martha Matsuoka. It talks about regionalism and commu…
My comment doesn't involve birthdays but it does involve postcards! When I send out information about our home improvement services to our Healthy Blocks neighborhoods, I use postcards whenever possible. They are cheaper to print and mail, and peopl…
There is very limited availability for non-NeighborWorks organizations to participate in the CLI, generally only open to groups that have some type of partnership relationship with NeighborWorks. These groups had to be recommended by one of the Neig…
Sure! We have a group on Facebook, and that's how we share the upcoming events/locations. People also share books or links to stories that they've read with other members. Whenever I'm at an event or a meeting and I run into someone I think would be…
On the Neighborworks website it says CLI is an invitation-only event. I do not work for a Neighborworks Organization, but do feel that my organization and resident activists could greatly benefit from this training. Would we be able to attend withou…
This statistic jumped out at me: 57% of young people whose first job is in the nonprofit sector will have a second job in the nonprofit sector. Perhaps if there were more outreach towards students and recent grads by nonprofits, there would be a lar…
This is great, thanks for the link! I like how they use Meetup.com and Facebook to promote their events and activities.
The CLI brochures and registration form are in today’s mail – first class! You should be receiving them soon. I have also attached them to this post!

Nice article! It's time to throw the 'traditional templates' out the window, I say. :)
Has anyone received brochures for the upcoming CLI? I haven't received anything yet and when I try to download the PDF off the members' site it crashes my browser.
The Community Leadership Institute is a training event that aims to
strengthen the voices and skills of community, resident, and volunteer
leaders. Participants attend in teams from areas served by
NeighborWorks Network organizations and their partn…

I like Home Makeover. And, I like adding free architectural, landscaping and decorating assistance with the loan to help homeowners choose high-impact investments and maximize the fixed costs of bringing a contractor out. Geneva, NY offers free arch…
Thanks Vince. At this time, I know non-profits do not have access to RD's loan origination software, UniFi. I'm not sure how much we've discussed the issues of access to CAIVRS in the 502 course.
