December news & resources

As the end of 2021 approaches, it is important to reflect on the impact of Arts Ed Newark on students and educators across the city. Through our work we have seen increased advocacy, better evaluation, more capacity building and networking opportunities with a even more robust community of Newark stakeholders all seeking to serve our collective mission. This means more and better access to cutting-edge tools and resources, learning opportunities with peers and experts, and, ultimately, the support that we and our partners need to strengthen communities through the arts.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Giving Tuesday. Your donation will provide more dollars to bring arts programs directly to students in their neighborhoods and schools, and to help to ensure the health of our children facing trauma by supporting healing-centered learning environments. If you'd still like to donate to our work and support the needs of young people accessing arts education, please do so here. Every amount is appreciated.

WORKSHOP: Organizational Capacity

If Capacity Building Takes Years,
Why Do We Keep Looking for Success After a Few Months?
12/17/21
1:00pm - 2:00pm ET Register HERE
We do capacity building work, but, as capacity builders we often find ourselves asking: What does capacity building look like and how do we measure it? More importantly, how do we ensure that the work we do ‘sticks’ and what is our ultimate goal?

In this session, hosted by the Alliance for Nonprofit Management and led by Zach Litif, Support Center's Associate Director of Data and Technology, to discuss the above capacity building questions and realities. We will workshop goals we share as capacity builders and how we can show up as partners in success for the organizations we work with.
