Strategic Planning for Social Change

Social change agents must make thoughtful choices about how to deploy their limited resources to maximize their impact. That requires clarity of purpose, a theory of change, and strategic decision-making tools. Those include strategic planning, SWOT analysis, SMART goal setting, the Strategic Choice Framework and coalition building skills.

Using Policy, Advocacy, and the Law for Social Change

Leaders face complex problems daily, often with incomplete information. With the right tools, they can balance immediate needs with a broader vision. This course examines solutions to large-scale issues and helps understand legal systems to navigate conflicting goals and confusion in applying laws for effective change.

Data for Impact

Learn to identify quality data, find reliable sources, and detect misinterpretations. This course will guide you in using data for internal evaluation and reporting, and help you create impactful data visualizations to communicate findings and drive social change. Become a savvy data consumer and leverage data effectively for your organization.

Building a Strategic Campaign to Drive Policy Change

Complete the certificate program by learning to build advocacy campaigns. The course has two parts: effective communication using data and case studies and mapping key players in your area of influence. You'll identify how to best engage stakeholders to drive change and advocate for your issue.
