RSVP Deadline: December 1st
Program will be held for 3 weeks January 2022.

DPMI/Sitka was designed to answer this question: “What do social justice activists need to know to successfully promote high-impact, sustainable initiatives that address local priorities?”

The program includes training on local systems mapping; appreciative interviewing; tools to analyze a local context; stakeholder analysis; participatory theory of change development; proposal writing; and more! Participants are tasked with designing or redesigning a social change initiative that meets the needs of a specific community. They also produce a proposal that can generate financial support for a community priority while meeting funder requirements.

This is a 3-week virtual program. You will work closely with local leadership to strengthen two projects sponsored by the Sitka Tribe of Alaska’s Cultural Resources, Education and Employment Department.
