Join us Thursday, July 16, 2026, at The Family Tree for our next Nonprofit Meetup as we explore Community & Equity that is designed with the community, rather than for the community! This session will focus on practical ways organizations can strengthen community engagement, build trust, and create programs that reflect the needs and voices of those they serve. Through shared experiences and collaborative conversation, we’ll examine how meaningful engagement can lead to stronger outcomes, deeper trust, and more sustainable impact.

Topics will include building programs with community input, effective community engagement strategies, and advancing equity in everyday practice. Learn how to design programs with communities by centering their voices through active listening and co-creation, while embedding equity and cultural humility into everyday organizational practices.

Whether you are new to community-centered engagement or looking to strengthen your approach, this meetup will provide practical insights for building stronger community connections. Come connect, learn, and collaborate with peers committed to creating a more equitable Acadiana.
