Cultivating Connection: A Professional Day of Learning for Long Island Teams
Cost: Congregations will be billed a $100 flat rate for participation.
Assembly teaches a proven methodology of Relationship Based Community Building that offers practical skills and frameworks to help leaders move beyond programs and transactions toward cultivating meaningful, enduring relationships. This half-day training will provide congregational teams with concrete capabilities they can apply immediately in their work.
Outcomes
As a result of this training, participants will:
- Consider how to weave more relational community building into their everyday work, moving from big ideas and theory to concrete practices that can have an immediate impact on the depth and breadth of their engagement with constituents.
- Learn how intentionality in curating the structure of an experience can create stronger social connections among the participants.
- Feel more connected to one another, to each other's agencies, and to the larger ecosystem of Jewish life across Long Island, as convened by The Jewish Education Project and the New York Board of Rabbis.
