We've produced a series of handouts and accompanying templates that will help you with different aspects of NGO management and programming. You can use each of these handouts alone if you have specific needs, or all together to get your NGO off to a great start.

Strategic Planning

Group Work

Strategic planning is key to the success of any nongovernmental organization (NGO). Strategic planning involves discussion about your vision, mapping the field and your projects, as well as laying out your goals and how you plan to get there. Use the HOW TO handouts, along with their accompanying templates.

Volunteer and Staff Management

Group Work

Your organization is only as strong as its volunteers and staff! Learning how to manage them and work together as a team will strengthen your organization and make your programs better. A well-managed volunteer program enables volunteers to feel successful and enhances your organizations reputation.

Financial Management

Group Work

Sound financial management is another building block to a strong organization. Having a good grasp of your finances will allow you to see whether you have the resources to complete your projects.
