We Be Bloggin’”

Promoting an organization’s agenda in the 21st century takes an internet presence. But, how does an organization on a shoestring budget get its information on the internet? With the ongoing Internet evolution, organizations have more tools at their fingertips than ever before to accomplish this required self-promotion.

On Monday, August 25, 2008, The Coalition will host a class called, “Using Blogs to Promote Your Organization” to teach organizations how to use the internet as an excellent resource for hunting, gathering of resources and promoting their agendas.

This workshop is an excellent opportunity for grass roots organization to learn more about a wide range of e-topics, including some fantastic how-to content for social networks and other tools.

During this 2 hour hands-on workshop, participants will learn: What is a blog? Why do I/my organization need one? How can I build and maintain a blog for free? How can I promote my blog? How can I use a blog to generate revenue?

You will also have the ability to participate from the comfort of your own home via the live webcast for this event. See our Taking Tech to the Streets page for more information.

Pre-requisites: Proficiency in using Microsoft Word and internet navigation savvy.

What are EPIC Community Stakeholder Groups?

Stakeholder groups consist of individuals who live in and/or utilize a community.  They have a stake in what occurs and wish to become actively involved in the continued development of that community.

Who are EPIC community stakeholders?

Stakeholders may be members of the formal and informal networks of support that exist in every community. They include but are not limited to community residents, parents, school staff, family court, police, political leaders, community activists, storeowners, mental health providers, truancy workers and anyone else in the community who have a stake in the community.

How do stakeholder groups work?

There are ten stakeholder groups located throughout Philadelphia that are facilitated by truancy prevention provider agencies.  The groups meet monthly and utilize a process called the “Equal Partnership In Change,” to develop and implement action plans that complement and enhance their assets and address their challenges utilizing school attendance as primary indicators of community well being.  EPIC stakeholder groups nurture and mentor community residence to take a leadership role in their community.  Each stakeholder group has the opportunity to receive community development funds, technical assistance and training to facilitate and support their groups in the development and implementation of action plans.

What do stakeholders do?

·         Attend and support various community meetings and events

·         Facilitate the development of pro-active relationships between the informal and formal support networks

·         Develop grassroots leadership

·         Actively advocate for school attendance

·         Build partnerships between community residents, the family court, law enforcement and the school district

·         Identify, organize, enhance and utilize community resources/assets.

·         Identify and support the informal support network

·         Develop programs that reduce and eradicate the challenges to  school attendance

·         Develop proposals for community development funds

·         Attend trainings in team building, budget development and action planning

How can I become an EPIC community stakeholder?
