Inclusive Hiring Training - Cohort 5

The future of global aid is in ⚡️ building equitable partnerships,⚡️ empowering local leaders, and⚡️ shifting&nbsp;power&nbsp;to the communities we serve. That future is now. Have you taken the time to develop the skills, practice, and confidence needed to redefine your role and remain relevant in this future? If you haven't, the Shifting Power Accelerator will give you the time you need and so much more. Designed for busy professionals working for powerful institutions in the global non-profit, philanthropic, and public sectors, this course will help you navigate barriers to shifting power by learning the emerging best practice in key thematic areas: 🌍 Liberatory Futures🌍 Power and Decision-Making🌍 Influencing for Change🌍 Mutual Capacity Strengthening🌍 Community-Led Design🌍 Participatory Grantmaking🌍 Movement Building I've carefully crafted a practical, cohort-based course drawing from industry-tested frameworks in each focus area. I've also curated case studies from sector leaders who candidly share their challenges and steps to incremental change. Besides group discussion with your peers (which you'll get plenty of), the most exciting part of the course is the experience of shifting power in real-time. At the start of the course, you will have the opportunity to invite a community accountability partner (e.g., a community or civil society leader or Global South colleague you have an existing relationship with) to participate with you. You will share course frameworks with your Community Accountability Partner between each workshop, actively listen and reflect on the dynamics of your partnership, and work together on prioritized areas of power imbalance. I'll be available during weekly office hours and 24/7 via the online course platform to offer personalized support for your specific and immediate challenges and goals. Together, we will actively contribute to long-overdue changes across the global non-profit sector. I can't wait to see you on the course! MayaFacilitator, Shifting Power Accelerator P.S.

🌐  Community of Practice

An Applied, Practical Curriculum

You’re a non-profit, philanthropic, or public sector professional at a powerful institution expressly committed to shifting power.

Your organization has localization or equal partnership plans, but you need tools, examples, and support to implement them successfully.

You are ready to shift power meaningfully in the next 90 days, and have an existing or new change initiative you can focus on.

This course is for you if...

Practice industry-tested frameworks used by leading #ShiftThePower organizations  

Shifting power requires critical inquiry. You’ll ask key questions to interrogate your motivations and your role, as well as measure how equal or community-led your partnership really is.

Validate your locally-led or community-led goals and objectives.

Embrace a mutual capacity-strengthening model over outdated top-down capacity-building approaches. You'll prioritize areas for partner-led growth.

Give up gatekeeping for good.

Unrestricted funding can seem like a compliance nightmare. You’ll learn how flexible funds and participatory grantmaking work so that you can build your own mechanisms with partner and donor support.

Overcome barriers to flexible funding.

Inviting input on project ideas is not enough for equal partnership. You’ll practice participatory and co-design methods for a truly community-led and bottom-up approach.

Innovate your program design process.

Build a shifting power roadmap, earn stakeholder trust and gain the technical skills you need to remain relevant in the future of global aid
