Greetings!
Wow, it is officially November, which means two things: we are one month away from the end of 2022. Excitedly, it also means I am approaching one whole year as the Program Coordinator for the HandsOn team.
These past few months have been rewarding. It was great assisting the team in building a foundation for our newer programs: BUILD and Organization Coaching, as well as strengthening some of our existing core programs: Nonprofit Essentials and Project Blueprint. I was able to network with several of Forsyth County's great nonprofits who are all so eager to do the work in the community they serve.
Many things can transform over one year. I am grateful to have been a part of the change and growth that many grass-root organizations have experienced through programs such as BUILD. This program has allowed nonprofit leaders to regain a strong foundation for their organization as we approach the end of our first cohort year. We are happy to announce that applications to join the second BUILD cohort will open on December 15th!
Lastly, we're excited to welcome the first cohort of our new Organizational Coaching program. I would like to give a special CONGRATULATIONS to these organizations:
I look forward to working with them and seeing the same transformations I witnessed in the BUILD cohort.
Have a wonderful holiday season!

Civic Commitment Evolution!
|
|
Celebrate 15 Years with HandsOn NWNC!
HandsOn celebrates this milestone this fall--one that we could not have reached without your support! However, just as our work to mobilize the people and organizations that inspire community change has evolved over the past 15 years, we’re asking volunteers, our partners, and other supporters to make their own Civic Commitment Evolution through HandsOn as part of our celebration! Guided by the research that informs the Civic Circle framework, we’ve developed multiple ways you can demonstrate your Civic Commitment Evolution and help us meet our goal of 15 new or evolved commitments from local companies, small businesses, institutions, and civic organizations. We also want to engage individuals as changemakers and new supporters of our mission! There's multiple ways you can get involved, and we're happy to talk you through the options.
We'll be celebrating all of those who make these commitments, which will begin this month and continue into 2023, at a small reception in February. We want to make sure *you're* on the invite list!

2022-2023 Nonprofit Essentials:
Budgeting and Finance
|
|
Thursday, November 17, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Location: Senior Services, 2895 Shorefair Dr NW, multipurpose room (see map)
Thought finances were boring? Think again! Our third session of Nonprofit Essentials is surprisingly engaging, while still designed to give an overview of nonprofit budgeting and finance, including financial terminology, the components of nonprofit financial statements, and a working understanding of an income statement and balance sheet. The course will also address how to build a budget, use performance standards to help make spending decisions, address “red flag” issues, and review best practices as they relate to financial management.
The class is taught by Chuck Kraft, HandsOn NWNC's Founding Board Chair, who tempers his deep knowledge of nonprofit finance with an engaging sense of humor. Chuck was born and raised in Philadelphia, and came to Winston-Salem to attend Wake Forest University on a football scholarship where he was a member of the 1979 Tangerine Bowl Team. Upon graduating in 1980 with an accounting degree, he entered public accounting working for two local CPA firms for ten years. In 1990, he entered the non-profit world serving the YMCA of NWNC as their CFO for 14 years, and then served with Smart Start of Forsyth County for eight years. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Piedmont Triad, Inc., (a HandsOn Supporting Partner,) where he's been since 2012. Chuck has served RMHC Piedmont Triad as a volunteer board and/or committee member since 1986. Throughout the years, Chuck has given his time to numerous other community boards (including HandsOn NWNC, his favorite). Chuck and his wife, Sue, are empty nesters with two adult children. After living in Lewisville for 39 years, they downsized to Kernersville last year.
Nonprofit Essentials is a monthly series of 10 classes designed to provide the "essentials" needed by nonprofit staff, board members, and volunteer leaders to be successful in the sector. Classes can be taken individually, or as a full series, which can be started at any time. Offered in partnership with Wake Forest University's Office of Civic and Community Engagement for more than a decade, the classes are taught primarily by Wake Forest University staff, faculty, and alums. For this coming year, all classes are being held in-person and won't be recorded.
Cost: $50 for Supporting Partners, $60 for all others
Full Series: $450 for SPs, $550 for all others (the series can be started with any class)

2022-2023 Nonprofit Essentials:
Human Resources
|
|
Note Earlier Week!
Thursday, December 8, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Location: Senior Services, 2895 Shorefair Dr NW, multipurpose room (see map)
Our fourth session of Nonprofit Essentials is based on the reality that the most important asset of any organizations is its people. This course will address key topics such as recruitment, retention, development, and evaluation of board members, staff, and volunteers; the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the nonprofit workforce; and how to create a motivating and rewarding environment where everyone can be their full and best selves.
Abby Monclova, who has led this class since its inception, has over 15 years of experience in management, recruiting, personnel relations, training, and relationship building. She is a graduate of Wake Forest University and received her MS in Human Resources from Western Carolina University. Previous roles include Director of Volunteer Services at the Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem, Inc., (a HandsOn Supporting Partner) Director of Staff and Volunteer Services at Outfitters4, Sr. Human Resources Consultant for Forsyth County government, Board Chair for Dress for Success Winston-Salem, a past President of the Winston-Salem Society for Human Resource Management, and as a Human Resources Generalist for The Resource. She currently serves as the Human Resources Director for Crossnore Communities for Children, (also, a HandsOn Supporting Partner). She believes an organization’s most valuable resource is its people, and that their collaboration can strengthen your organization, your mission, and our community.

Save The Date: Saturday, January 21!
MLK Day of Service Read-In: Back In-Person for 2023!
|
|
The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service promotes Dr. King's ideals of service, equality, and non-violence. For more than a decade, we've honored this legacy with our annual "Read-In" event. For the past two years, we've had to host this event virtually, but we're planning to be LIVE AND IN-PERSON on the campus of Wake Forest University on Saturday, January 21, from 8 am to Noon!
Along with our partners at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University and others, this event pairs children from kindergarten to 5th grade with a "Reading Buddy" (typically, a college student ) who will lead them through various educational activities. At the event, each child will receive one age-appropriate book and one new civil rights-themed book.📚❤️ We'll be planning carefully with our partners and our WFU host to help ensure that we keep both our youth participants and our volunteers as safe as possible, while still relishing the opportunity to be together once again, building connections and allowing our participants to enjoy the experience of being on a college campus.
Let's celebrate Dr. King's life and promote his message about civil rights, literacy, and the importance of community service! If you want to be the one of the first to either volunteer OR sign-up a child aged 4-10 to participate, don't hesitate to reach out to Shivani TODAY!

HandsOn To Receive Local Public Funding in Support of Two Signature Programs!
We are excited to announce that HandsOn NWNC will be receiving its first local public funds in support of two of our long-time signature programs: Women's Emerging Leaders and the Volunteer Engagement Training Program. At its Sept. 22 meeting, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved a nearly $64,000 ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) grant request that will underwrite access to these programs for nonprofits for which participation might otherwise be cost-prohibitive. Over the course of 2023 and 2024, the funding will allow 50 small, grassroots, or medium-sized nonprofits working with traditionally-marginalized and/or under-resourced communities to attend either of these programs for just a minimal $10 fee. We're heartened by this validation of the value of these programs by the Forsyth County County Commissioners, and are thankful to our two board members, Torry Reynolds and Tamisha Keith, who spoke in favor of our request from their perspective as WEL alumnae. Be on the lookout for more details soon!

Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods Partners with Forsyth County and the City of Winston-Salem on "Cure Violence" Program!
Last month, the Forsyth County Board of Commissions approved a two-year contract with our friends at NBN to launch the Cure Violence program as a way to try to reduce crime through methods that don’t involve police intervention. NBN has been working to foster this partnership so that program will be fully funded for the next two years, with costs being shared between the City and the County. Cure Violence is a global model that engages trained “violence interrupters” and outreach workers to identify and mediate potential conflicts, working separately from law enforcement in order to maintain trust with the people they are trying to reach. The community-based approach is designed to resolve issues before they escalate into violence. Read the full article in the Winston-Salem Journal for more details. Want to get involved with the program? Please reach out to NBN's Executive Director, Latoya Robinson.
