Our Commitment to Participatory Planning

In pursuit of the Grassroots Fund's deep commitment to participatory/democratic processes and upholding our Guiding Values, we work to bring together diverse participants in the planning and design of our RootSkills Training Series.  Toward that goal, we invite students, community organizers, nonprofit leaders, and sustainable businesspeople to  apply to be on the Planning Committees for each of our 2018 RootSkills in-person trainings.

Committee members will have the opportunity to plan and create a meaningful, engaging training and will be responsible for helping: 

• Select workshop trainers
• Recruit sponsoring organizations and exhibitors 
• Spread the word about the RootSkills Trainings

Planning Committee Members are asked to attend several 60-minute planning meetings via Teleconference/Webinar in months preceding events. All planning committee members receive free admission to the RootSkills Training.
