Center For Whole Communities Inc

Programs: We offer advanced leadership workshops both at knoll farm and in communities across the country to support individual leaders and our alumni as they seek to implement whole communities work in their home places. These workshops address how leaders can more effectively engage with constituencies outside their political and social circles, how to keep a dialogue going among diverse partners, and how to seed organizational change that encourages and nurtures new tools, new governance, and new models of success.

each year, we offer leadership development retreats for up to 140 fellows who come through our whole thinking program. Our week-long curriculum draws upon tools such as cultural competency, story, dialogue, transformational leadership, and contemplative practice. We also facilitate whole thinking retreats for organizations and foundations to help them strengthen their mission, focus and ability to enact broad social change

in addition to our core whole thinking program and our advanced leadership programs we work to provide opportunities for individuals to explore issues of race, class, power and privilege in their organizations and communities. We offer custom programs to serve the needs of nonprofit organizations and their constituencies to deepen their capacity to work more collaboratively. An example of this work is our conservation in new nation program which creates the safe space for conservation leaders to consider changes in american demographics, what it will take to innovate over the next fifty years, and to consider what it would mean to align our diversity and inclusion efforts with our conservation strategies.
