Neighborhood Engagement Toolkit Training Series
This three-part training series dives into the Neighborhood Engagement Toolkit, a resource about how you can increase your organization’s positive impact by forming mutually beneficial partnerships for change with other organizations and volunteers.
Partnerships lie at the foundation of any thriving community, and this training series will help you identify the best partners for your organization to achieve its goals. Join to learn best practices, engage in professional peer learning, and navigate tools that help your organization:

Understand your community and assess your organization’s ability to meet its needs
Increase capacity for impact through partnerships and volunteer support
Evaluate, evolve, and share your stories

This series is hosted by James Garcia, Director of Community Initiatives at NYC Service. A veteran and municipal leader with over a decade of experience leading volunteer programs, James provides expert insight helpful to organizations across the five boroughs.
Trainings are hosted live on Zoom, including breakout sessions and open discussion for questions and answers.
Accessibility and Accomodations
We strive to host language-inclusive, accessible programming that allows all New Yorkers to engage fully. Email nycservice@cityhall.nyc.gov to request an accommodation or inquire about language accessibility by January 17th, 2023 at 5pm. Include the training date(s) you are requesting services for.
Consultations
Following the Neighborhood Engagement Toolkit Training Series, NYC Service will hold a free, three-month consultation program offering more specific and tailored guidance for five (5) nonprofits and CBOs. Please note that to be eligible for this program, your organization must attend all three sessions of the training series.
