INFORMATION FOR NONPROFITS
Community Outreach Program (COP)


What can COP do for your nonprofit?

COP can enhance morale, strengthen capabilities, improve performance, and increase effectiveness.

How does a typical project work?
  1. We conduct a free Needs Analysis to analyze your organization’s needs.
    2. * You are under no obligation to continue past the Needs Analysis if you find we aren’t a good fit

  2. Using the results of the needs analysis, we prioritize your training options and focus on a solution.

  3. Our volunteer staff designs, develops and delivers your workshop at your location.

Who will work on my project?

The COP volunteers include human resource specialists, instructional designers, organizational development practitioners, learning and performance professionals, technical trainers, and educators.

We assemble our teams based on your needs and our volunteer’s ability to assist on the project.

What is it like to work with COP?

Here is what other nonprofits we’ve worked with have said:

“The Community Outreach trainers from ASTD-GGC were so helpful in supporting our staff during our six month long organization transition. They used the ‘appreciative inquiry’ approach, which focused us on what we do well and brought staff together. When the dust settled, everyone was engaged, committed and feeling positive about the future.”

Gina Moreland
Executive Director, Habitot Children’s Museum

“Not only did our COP mentor help us develop a workshop which incorporated learning theory in a way we hadn’t been able to before, she showed us how to develop documentation and package everything so that others can put on the same great workshops elsewhere. Thank you Community Outreach Program!”

Helen Seal
Associate Director, CompuMentor

“A training session by the ASTD Community Outreach Program volunteers helped the Council’s staff hone our skills and gave us new tools to help us work more efficiently.”

Karen Kidwell
Development Director, Bay Area Ridge Trail Council

"Working with the COP team was a joy. They took the time to understand our organization and customized a solution for our unique needs. At first, we were expecting them to just create and deliver a training course. But instead, they provided us with the tools and the knowledge we needed to design our own program and make us self sufficient. The skills we gained from our COP experience will be used for internal staff development for many years to come. Thank you COP!"

Sharon More
Executive Director, Camp Edventure More!
