"The power of the collective is found in individual mindsets, collaborations, in communities, and in collective impact networks." -Tamarack's Liz Weaver
This guide has been designed to broaden our collective thinking about the factors that contribute to sustainable, resilient, and impactful collaboration.
To help equip you in your own leadership journey, Co-CEO Liz Weaver is launching the Collaborative Leadership & Governance series.
Join our second Changemaker cohort and experience a seven-month learning journey alongside a diverse group of peers. You'll explore all facets of the community and systems impact approach including the core principles that drive place-based change forward, enhancing your change and impact skillsets and deepening your understanding of the frameworks or ways of working to support you to translate your social change goals into reality.
The Changemaker Experience includes a seven-part workshop series, coaching support, and access to the latest thinking, tools, and resources all designed to increase your skills and competencies in leading and driving change.
At Tamarack, Collaborative Leadership is considered a critical element of the 5 practices of community change. Collaborative Governance and Leadership weaves together the process and people aspects of effective collaboration. Practitioners will learn that it is a fine balance, requiring a deep investment in building connections and engagement while also ensuring that the practice, structure, and decision-making approach are defined and effectively implemented.
Join Liz Weaver for this virtual workshop designed to provide an opportunity to explore the key theories related to collaborative governance, tools, and approaches.
Tamarack’s Learning Centre exists to empower community changemakers to achieve greater impact. We draw upon our 15 years of experience leading community change and advancing practice to support municipalities, funders, non-profits, and community leaders through on-demand coaching and consulting, in-person and digital training, and publications that guide change efforts.
We support our learning network in developing five interconnected ideas that lead to community change:
In Vibrant Communities we support cities and local leaders to develop and implement large-scale change initiatives through these learning networks:
Cities Deepening Community is a network of 67 cities seeking to strengthen neighbourhoods and 25 cities developing community plans to grow citizen engagement, civic leadership and a sense of belonging.
Communities Building Youth Futures is a five-year strategy to work with up to 13 communities to develop system-wide solutions for youth as they build and act upon plans for their future.
Community Climate Transitions is building a network of communities that are committed to tackling climate change through a multi-solving approach that advances social, environmental and economic goals simultaneously.
