Program areas at Compasspoint Nonprofit Services
Public workshops: Compasspoint creates exceptional learning experiences that increase participants' skills and prepare them to lead improvements in organizational practice. Compasspoint practitioners and key partners design and deliver workshops on supervision and coaching skills, financial management, conflict, resource mobilization, facilitation, and self-care, among other subjects. In 2022, more than 1500 individuals from over 800 organizations attended Compasspoint's 51 public events and workshops.
Publishing and community influence: Compasspoint produces and curates content that informs and inspires leaders and capacity builders to consider and evolve their practice. Publishing regularly is essential to our practice because when we write, we make sense of what we are learning. Compasspoint publishes articles through a regularly updated blog: https://www.compasspoint.org/blog; lead-learn-liberate, our bi-weekly e-newsletter; and through various publications operated by others.
Leadership programs and organizational contracts: Compasspoint develops programming that nurtures technical and transformational leadership skills. These programs create space, time, and community for leaders to explore critical issues of race, power, and privilege in their leadership. In 2022, Compasspoint facilitated several cohort programs such as next generation black leaders, self-care for black women (train the trainers), as well as a new cohort of a multi-year program - the hive leadership development program.
