How to Participate

Our partnership with Resilia targets small, grassroots nonprofits that are led by and/or serve people of color. If you are interested in participating in a future Resilia cohort, please contact Sarah Shugrue at sshugrue@greaterworcester.org.

Our biggest wins were in the templates they provided along with the education content. We found the video training modules especially valuable. They were the exact right length so an organization with little time can tackle in bite-size increments
