New eCourse for State Commissions on working with Faith-Based and Community Organizations
State Commissions and Faith-Based and Community Organizations
We now offer an in-depth learning tool to help state commissions explore strategies in their fundamental roles of promoting community service and engaging citizens in volunteerism. This examination of the Faith-Based and Community Initiative (FBCI) helps commissions create a “level playing field” through outreach, collaboration, and service with diverse community-based and faith-based organizations in every part of the state. This easy-to-use course helps commissions assess their ability to minimize obstacles for potential sub-grantees, and it provides commission leaders with a resource for referral and training of staff and others. It also contains numerous resources and examples for building community partnerships, alliances, and organizational capacity that can help any commission continue its work in the FBCI and realize the potential of all communities and their citizens. This course was created cooperatively by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the National Crime Prevention Council, and ETR Associates. Log in to the Online Learning Center to access this course.
