The Library maintains a core collection of continuously updated materials in multiple formats that address the specific needs of local nonprofit, grassroots and faith-based organizations.

Our nonprofit workshops are conducted by expert consultants in their fields, local leaders, and attorneys and many are tailored to the specific needs of nonprofit managers, staff, board members and other key stakeholders.

We provide tools, resources, and information that will help nonprofit organizations fulfill their missions.

About this FREE In-Person Workshop
 
Authentic stories that are true to your brand are more important than ever, but knowing how to execute them can be a challenge. This interactive workshop is designed to help nonprofits and mission-driven teams sharpen their messaging, connect and maintain relationships with their audiences, and build a brand that inspires action.
 
Participants will learn how to identify their organization’s core narrative, elevate community voices, and translate complex issues into compelling, accessible stories across platforms. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you’ll walk away with practical tools to strengthen your brand identity, engage supporters, and drive meaningful impact.
 
Presented by professionals from Connecticut’s first and only anti-racist public relations agency, The Narrative Project.
 
Lunch will be provided.
