Check out the July 2023 Edition of Engage!
In this month's edition of Engage!, we're highlighting two resources that can help changemakers apply an equity lens to their systems change work and make their workplace, events, and intiatives more inclusive.
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.
This From Idea to Impact workshop provides an opportunity for those working to implement place-based change efforts capable of generating impact at both the local AND systems levels.
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Liz Weaver, Tamarack's Co-CEO, and Sylvia Cheuy, Consulting Director of Collaboration will share their experience and insights about creating bolder place-based and systems-level change. Participants will also learn and share their own experiences and strategies to co-create a dynamic exploration of what it takes to drive forward deep and durable change.
We know that responding to the climate crisis at the necessary speed and scale requires fearlessness and tenacity, particularly when dismantling and re-designing the colonial, extractive, and oppressive systems that fuel it in the first place. This is why, this year, we will gather around the theme of courage.
This highly anticipated event will bring together 200+ diverse advocates and changemakers from the municipal, nonprofit, community, and private sectors, in addition to resident-led groups engaged in transition efforts.
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.
The Latest from Community Climate Transitions:
Tamarack is a connected force for community change.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth we honour and acknowledge that our work occurs across Turtle Island (North America), which has been home since time immemorial to the ancestors of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples.
