Convening Communities of Practice
Engaged Learning Series
The Engaged Learning Series (ELS) gives community engagement practitioners and those looking to learn more about community engagement a chance to learn from one another. Practitioners inform the topics covered in these free quarterly workshops.
We’ve reached capacity for the re-launching of the Engaged Learning Series Thursday, December 19, 2019, 9-11:30am: Embedding Community Engagement – Creating Community Advisory Committees with POWER! Contact Angie to get on the waitlist at abrown@nexuscp.org.
