CBYF Journey

Tamarack membership unlocks knowledge, tools, and experience through a network of like-minded peers, Tamarack’s guidance, and national movements for change.

Peer Learning and Networking

Learn, network, and collaborate through professional members-only Communities of Practice (CoP) and Cohort programs that bring together changemakers based on their region, their professional or community role, and/or specific priorities or issues. Join public and private webinars featuring innovative and emerging ideas and participate in Tamarack’s annual learning event. Plus, access additional online courses and paid workshops at discounted member pricing.

Tailored Capacity Building

Build your skills for change to reach your goals with one-on-one  support. Our Skills for Change represent different competencies that can support community changemakers in achieving greater impact. Check in with one of our dynamic team members and receive one-on-one coaching with Tamarack’s Consulting Directors.

Movement Building

Join a national movement for place-based change that reinforces the need to work collaboratively to end poverty, build youth futures, build belonging, and create just climate transitions – both within communities and across governments.

What it means to be a member

As a Tamarack Member, you will gain access to the support, resources,  and tools needed to make progress towards your goals. We offer two membership tiers with flexible pricing designed to allow you to focus on the issues that you care deeply about and access the support your community needs.

Individual Tier

Tailored for people who want to build their changemaking skills, including those working in organizations and government, and grassroots community builders. Individual tier members engage in an active learning journey, with the support of the Tamarack team, to accomplish professional development goals through coaching, online courses, and peer-to-peer learning.

Group Tier 

Tailored to community collaboratives who are working together to close an equity gap in their communities. Collaboratives range in maturity from just getting started to mobilizing for community-wide action, and sustaining and renewing their work. Membership includes access to Tamarack’s full suite of Networks for Change resources and support for starting or advancing their work.

"Being a member of this national body offers added credibility to the work we do and enables us to see the broader picture of poverty reduction across the country. Communities of Practice allow us to learn from others and thoughtfully apply new strategies to our work.”

Dianna Souveny

"When we look at how much work we’ve done in less than two years and the impact we’ve had in our community … it’s so huge. ... Collective impact has had a huge impact locally. This network is of such huge value and really allows us to have more effective utilization of our local resources rather than having to start from scratch with everything."
