Greetings!
With any new year brings new opportunities to move forward, and to reach new levels of greatness. This is what I feel HandsOn is doing as we all begin this year of “perfect vision:"
“HandsOn NWNC envisions a Northwest North Carolina where citizens and nonprofits are equipped and engaged in creating thriving, healthy communities.”
This is the vision HandsOn adopted a few years ago and continues to be pursued with initiatives such as the
Governor’s Awards, which will take place on April 28 in the Novant Health Medical Center conference facility. The Awards breakfast allows an opportunity for HandsOn to recognize others in the community who also have the vision of equipping and engaging our community. Sponsorship opportunities for the Awards begin at $300, and may be found
online.
Internally, HandsOn’s Business and Revenue Committee has a new vision for 2020 as well. That vision is to open doors. The symbol of an open door represents an opportunity for new experiences, and journeying to a place we’ve never been. With a campaign for 2020 aptly named “Open Door”, the Business and Revenue team looks to be invited to walk through doors of companies and nonprofits with whom we've not previously partnered. The goal is to expand the scope of HandsOn, but also to empower these organizations, so that they may equip and engage, both internally and externally like never before.
The amazing work that HandsOn has done in previous years has set the organization up for its greatest year to date. The expected progress in this new year cannot be done without the hard work of the staff, made up of Amy, Kathy, and Brittney, but also the hard work of the Board. The Board welcomed four new members this year, and we know that
Katherine Caster,
Alexes Johnson,
Tamisha Keith, and
Melissa Wilson are all ready to dive into the work.
I personally am very excited about the vision for 2020. There are numerous companies and nonprofits who are looking to empower their associates to engage with our community through service, education, and skill-building. HandsOn has the resources to assist these organizations, and I am very much looking forward to the alignment of “perfect visions” between the synergistic connections that will take place in 2020.
Yours in Service,
Jon

Join Our 2020 Service Enterprise Winter Cohort
|
|
According to recent studies, volunteers are almost twice as likely to donate to charity as non-volunteers. Research further shows that organizations that maximize volunteer skills and provide effective volunteer management outperform peer organizations in addressing community needs, operate at significantly lower costs, and are more adaptable, sustainable, and able to go to scale.
Service Enterprise
, a training, coaching, and certification change-management program, was designed to help nonprofits "re-imagine" how they engage volunteers in order to develop a volunteer strategy that leverages their skills throughout the organization. Certified Service Enterprises, like
Senior Services
and
Crisis Control Ministry
,
achieve the same programmatic results as their peers, but do so on
just 60% of the budget
. Learn how they do it by joining our next Service Enterprise cohort today!

Racial Equity Institute Workshops Offered by Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods, February-July Dates Announced
The
REI Phase I workshop
is a two-day process that helps provide talking points, historical factors and an organizational definition of racism. The
Racial Equity Institute
(REI) believes that organizations are often working in very intentionally civil ways yet operating from multiple understandings that rely more on personal feelings and popular opinion. This creates complications to the goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities and producing equitable outcomes. This workshop is designed to build the capacity of educators, health practitioners, child welfare advocates, judicial representatives, other professionals, and all persons who are interested in understanding and eliminating racial inequities, disparities and disproportionality within our society. This workshop is important for people who want to dismantle racism.
NBN
will be offering three remaining Phase I Workshops this spring and summer:
March 11th - 12th
May 11th - 12th
July 9th - 10th
The Phase II workshop
is a two-day training that helps emerging racial equity leaders identify their struggles and challenges in light of the racial equity analysis outlined in Phase I. Following an in-depth review of key Phase I concepts, participants examine internalized oppression, feelings of inferiority and superiority, and racial identity development and how personal and organizational practices are affected by these feelings. The consistent and predictable outcomes of organizations and institutions find their roots in structures supported and maintained by individuals who have internalized narratives of inequity and injustice. NBN offers Phase II workshops biyearly in the spring and in the fall. Depending upon demand, an additional Phase II Workshop may be scheduled in the summer.
The spring 2020 date is February 10th + 11th.
You must attend both days of a Phase I training to be eligible to attend Phase II.
It is also
strongly preferred
that you have also audited a Phase I training as an alumni, as your Phase Two experience requires you to have a strong memory of Phase I concepts in order to build upon them.
Registration rates start at $175. More details, registration, and cost information for all of their upcoming workshops can be found on
NBN's website.

Black Philanthropy Initiative Requests Innovative VIDEO Proposals for their Impact Grants Program
Our friends at
BPI
are now accepting video proposals for their
Impact Grants Program
. Impact grants are investments of up to
$1,000
in local programs, projects and initiatives that support issues impacting the black community in Forsyth County.

The Impact Grants program is designed to invest in organizations/groups with annual budgets of less than $150,000 doing work within the black community that aligns with one of the four main areas in BPI’s
Rethinking Philanthropy
report (education, jobs and wages, poverty and civic engagement). For more information or to apply, please visit

lt was a great month for TV coverage for HandsOn NWNC, as we were mentioned in both a story about our 11th Annual
MLK Day of Service Read-In

he Read-In also includes key partners from
UNC-School of the Arts
and
Salem College.
This year, more than 120 volunteers participated, and approximately 116 children, aged 4-11, were paired with them to experience various activity booths together as a team. The booths highlighted Dr. King's legacy of service, community, human rights and self-sufficiency. At the day's "reading station," each child left with a brand-new, age-appropriate civil-rights themed book, available in both English and Spanish, as well a lightly-used donated book of their choice. Children took home over 200 books. Such a large event requires numerous community partners and supporters, and we'd like to thank the
Kids Cooking Coalition
,
Piedmont Environmental Alliance
,
UNC School of the Arts ArtistCorps
, the
Winston-Salem Fire Department
and
United Way of Forsyth County
for hosting stations, and our donation sponsors, including
Chick-Fil-A
(Peace Haven),
Food Lion
(Patterson Ave., N. Point Blvd., New Walkertown),
Harris Teeter
(Reynolda Road),
Krispy Kreme
(Stratford),
Lowe's Foods
(Reynolda Rd., Robinhood Rd., Peters Creek Pkwy.),
The Fresh Market
(Robinhood Rd.), and
Trader Joe's
(Thruway). A HUGE thank you goes to Walmart Community Grant through their
Parkway Village Court
location for covering the costs of the new books as well as other key materials. This was one of our most successful events yet, and we're grateful to the work
Julia Ough
and her fellow
VISTAs from Wake Forest's Community Action Coalition
program put in to make it all happen! Check out the video compilation below of the day's activities.
