Managing a coalition of parent groups and drowning in the operational overhead?
Join Four Norms and The Balance Project for a strategic workshop designed for parent organizers who are ready to scale their impact. If you're successfully leading local phone-free initiatives and want to expand your reach, support multiple communities, or build coalition infrastructure, this session will show you how to level up your organizing without burning out.
You're already creating change in your community, now learn how to amplify that impact across multiple groups while maintaining program quality and demonstrating measurable outcomes to stakeholders and funders.
In just one hour, discover advanced strategies that successful coalition leaders use to manage distributed impact, mentor new parent leaders, and build credible movement data, all while freeing up your time to focus on what matters most.
What you'll walk away with:
- Scalable systems to manage multiple parent groups efficiently
- Proven frameworks for mentoring new leaders without micromanaging
- Time-saving infrastructure that grows with your coalition
- Strategies to maintain program quality across distributed communities
- Advanced tracking methods to demonstrate ROI and impact to stakeholders
The first 30 minutes will focus on advanced coalition-building strategies and platform capabilities, followed by a 30-minute Q&A where you can explore specific scaling challenges and solutions for your growing organization.
