Facilitation

Our Community Facilitation program offers community facilitation, coaching, visioning, and training. Our goal is to increase the capacity of community initiatives to hold meetings and community engagement forums that are welcoming to all, participatory, and well-facilitated.

Training & Coaching

A variety of trainings are offered on topics like facilitation basics and collaborative, participatory meetings. We also offer individualized workshops and coaching. Email us for more information.

Community Facilitation

Our facilitators host neutral, moderated conversations around challenging topics.

Visioning

We work with communities and groups in a long-term process designed to develop a positive, healthy community-driven vision.

Feedback

Lisa and Haywood provided their training on collaborative meetings recently at the Center for Change. I’ve been facilitating meetings for years and found a lot of great tips and ideas to help me continue to grow in that role. I greatly appreciate both Lisa’s and Haywood’s approach which integrates mindfulness with more general pragmatic tips. I recommend this training!

Previous Projects

Police and Resident Listening Circles Program

From September 2018 to May 2019, the Center for Community Stewardship partnered with the Zeidler Center to offer a series of eight listening circles – six with Northside Police officers, and two with community residents. The goal was for officers and residents on the Northside to learn from each other about Northside safety issues.
