About Essentials for Collective Impact
Are you early in designing and implementing your collective impact work and looking for guidance and resources?
This fall, the Collective Impact Forum is launching “Essentials for Collective Impact,” an online four-workshop series. Attendees can choose to join the full series of four workshops or register for single workshops within the series.
This series focuses on supporting those early in their collective impact work by providing workshops focused on four key areas, one key area per workshop, that are critical when implementing the collective impact approach for social change.
Each workshop consists of a 3.5 hour virtual session plus a 1 hour virtual Faculty Office Hour.
Essentials of Collective Impact at a Glance
The series runs from September through October, and you can choose to register for all four workshops, or the single topics that most interest you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for a workshop? Please visit our registration site to join the full series or a single workshop.
Is this workshop series in-person or online? This is an online learning series. We will be using Zoom Meeting for all sessions.
What will each workshop entail? Each 3.5 hour workshop will include a mix of presentation, Q&A, and small group discussions. There will be a short break planned during each workshop.
What does a Faculty Office Hour entail? This is an hour of open Q&A with the workshop faculty and attendees, focused on the topic of the workshop.
What accessibility practices will Essentials be using? We will have Zoom auto-captions on for each workshop and office hour. In the days ahead of the workshop, we will send out copies of any workshop presentation or handouts. After the workshop, we will share recordings of the workshop presentation, participant Q&A, and faculty office hour.
Who Is Essentials for Collective Impact designed for? The Essentials for Collective Impact series is designed specifically for those in the beginning/early stages of their collective impact work. If you are preparing to launch a collaborative or are in the first few years of your initiative, this series of workshops is specifically designed for you. It also can serve as a refresher on core concepts of the collective impact approach.
The series is structured by topic, so you can choose the full series or the specific topic that you are most interested in.
If I attended the Champions for Change workshop in prior years, should I join the Essentials series? The Essentials series has similar content to past Champions for Change workshops. If you have attended past Champions for Change workshops, we would recommend Essentials if you are looking for a refresher of that content, or as a new learning opportunity for your teammates or partners. If you are not looking for a refresher, but for a completely new learning experience, we recommend our annual Action Summit instead. The 2023 Action Summit will be held April 24-April 27, 2023.
What’s the difference between the Full Series and Single Workshop registration? If you are signing up for the full Essentials workshop series, you are signing up for all four workshops, including the faculty office hours that are part of each one. If you sign up for a single workshop in the series, you will be just registering for that specific workshop and related office hour.
Will workshops be recorded? The workshop presentations and faculty office hours will be recorded and shared after the workshop with those who registered. Breakout group discussions that occur during each workshop will not be recorded. Recordings will be shared within one week of the workshop.
Can my whole team sign-up with one registration? No. Each person will require their own registration as this is an active workshop where attendees will be broken up into small groups throughout the workshop time to discuss learning questions during the session.
Are there Group Rates available? Yes. If you have 10 or more people interested in registering for the complete Essentials series of all four workshops ($595), there is a 10% discount available. Please contact Christopher Pulido at christopher@detailsbycp.com to access this discount. Single workshops in the Essentials series do not have a group discount.
How do I cancel my registration and request a refund? All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing. Registered participants who decide to cancel their participation, in either the full workshop series or a single workshop, will receive a refund of their registration fee minus a 10% processing fee. The 10% fee covers non-recoupable administrative and credit card processing expenses associated with registration and event preparation.
All refund requests should be emailed to christopher@detailsbycp.com. We are unable to process refunds after the refund deadlines detailed below.
