Immigrant integration and inclusion happen most effectively at the local level. Community partnerships are an effective method for nonprofit agencies to expand their reach, engage more community members, and accomplish desired goals on a larger scale. This workshop will introduce integration basics, such as common terminology, and explore characteristics of effective integration programming with various community partners, such as city governments, local parishes, volunteers and other nonprofits. The trainer will provide recommendations on characteristics to look for in a partner, ideas for integration programming for each type of partnership, and ways to manage a partnership so that it accomplishes its desired objectives.
