Events

Throughout the year, virtual and in-person events are available to grantees. These events are intentionally designed to offer opportunities for connection, education, and support. Events planned for 2024 are listed below.

OPEN OFFICE HOURS

We host open office hours every month to offer space for grant recipients to meet with the Coordination Program team and other grantees to ask questions and receive programmatic support. Before each event, we will send out a reminder email with the Zoom link.

Participation in these events is completely optional and we are also available to connect with grantees outside of office hours. Never hesitate to reach out!

Throughout the year, we will offer a variety of webinars to help project leaders stay up-to-date with the latest grant information and best practices in program implementation. Webinar topics will range from practical grant support to special interest-based topics.

Webinar participation is optional, and we will always record the presentations so that they can be watched at a later date.

ADVISORY BOARDS

November 19, 2024

1 p.m. EST

Join us for an engaging conversation about advisory boards. Our team, along with fellow grantees from the Strengthening Ministry with Children Coordination Program, will share valuable insights on how to establish and effectively leverage advisory boards to support and enhance your project. You'll also have the chance to ask questions and share your own experiences during a dedicated Q&A session.

Annual Gathering

Each year, the Strengthening Ministry with Children Coordination Program hosts a gathering for project directors and their colleagues. This special three-day event is designed to spark joy and theological inspiration while offering practical and strategic programmatic support. Participants have the opportunity to gather resources, insights, and collaborative partners to navigate best practices and implementation hurdles.

Registration will be limited to two persons from each project. More information will be available in spring 2025 but for now, save the date!
