Dear colleagues,
Just in time for Spring, Educopia is releasing its first Community
Cultivation guide!
Vision in Formation: Articulating Your Community’s Purpose
<http://educopia.org/cultivation> is the first guide in our long-planned
library of entirely open tools, templates, and guidance documentation to
help communities navigate common challenges experienced across lifecycle
stages and growth areas.
As a new community forms, its initial members need to articulate and
document the shared purpose of their collaboration. Using Vision in
Formation: Articulating Your Community’s Purpose, a facilitator can guide
the initial members of a new community or network through this process
with structured
activities and templates.
About the Community Cultivation Resource Library
Empowering collaborative communities to create, share, and preserve
knowledge has been central to Educopia’s mission since 2006. In our own
work, we have been grateful for resources like the Community Tool Box, Blue
Avocado, Collective Impact Forum, and The Good Collaboration Toolkit. These
libraries have long provided free models and materials to community
networks, and we believe they have had a dramatic impact across the
nonprofit field.
The Community Cultivation Resource Library first launched in 2018, with the
release of Community Cultivation — A Field Guide
<https://educopia.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/CommunityCultivationFieldGuide.pdf>.
This growing library of resources is our way to give forward to the
networks and communities in our field. Each element is grounded in work
undertaken with dozens of clients, partners, and affiliates to build
robust, active networks that fully embody the values and principles of
their members.
Additional facilitator’s guides and resources are scheduled for future
release at Educopia.org/cultivation <http://educopia.org/cultivation>.
With many thanks, and best wishes,
Hannah (on behalf of the Educopia staff)
