Fearless Learning Initiative

EDUCATION FOR SPECIFIC NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS: FACILITATING NO-COST ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING PROJECTS FOR NONPROFITS, IN WHICH LEARNING ITSELF IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS. EACH PROJECT IS TAILORED TO THE SPECIFIC NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AND ITS PARTICULAR LEARNING NEEDS. THESE NEEDS WILL BE ASSESSED INITIALLY BUT ALSO REASSESSED AND CHANGED AS NEEDED THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT DURATION. THE EMPHASIS THROUGHOUT WILL BE ON FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVE LEARNING PROCESSES.ORGANIZATIONS DO NOT NEED TO GET A GRANT OR OTHER FUNDING TO ENGAGE IN THESE LEARNING PROCESSES. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW AND ARTICULATE IN ADVANCE SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE ORGANIZATION WOULD BENEFIT FROM LEARNING. THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE TO PRODUCE PARTICULAR OR PRE-DEFINED OUTCOMES OR DELIVERABLES. WITH THIS APPROACH, THERE IS LESS CONCERN ABOUT "LOOKING GOOD," MORE FREEDOM TO REFINE (OR EVEN RADICALLY CHANGE)THE FOCUS OF THE LEARNING PROCESS AS THE ORGANIZATION GOES ALONG, AND PARTICIPANTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN TOGETHER IN A RELAXE

EDUCATION FOR NONPROFIT COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE: FOSTERING ATTENTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE VALUE OF RELAXED, OPEN AND FEARLESS ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING WITHIN THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY, INCLUDING ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THE PUBLIC DIRECTLY, AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS, AND OTHERS WHO SERVE AND INTERACT WITH SUCH ORGANIZATIONS.THE FEARLESS LEARNING INITIATIVE UNDERSTANDS ITSELF TO BE PART OF AN "ECOSYSTEM" OF NONPROFITS OF VARIOUS TYPES IN OUR SERVICE AREA AND THIS PROGRAM ACTIVITY FOCUSES ON OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO AND LEARN FROM AND WITH THIS LARGER COMMUNITY.IN 2020, NO INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVED DUE TO THE DISSOLUTION OF THE FOUNDATION.
