Writing Coaches Needed
SAT, APR 15 | 8:30 AM–3:00 PM | Park Street Church
Park Street is hosting a one-day grant writing workshop for leaders of faith-based organizations that serve citizens returning from incarceration. We are looking for coaches to help these changemakers tell their stories effectively and clearly when they apply for grants.
This is where you come in.
You do not need to be a professional grant writer to be an effective coach! This is a great opportunity to use your listening and writing skills to help others. If you have wanted to get involved in Park Street’s City Engagement Ministry but can’t take on a long-term commitment, this opportunity might be right for you. You will learn about the ministries in Boston serving returning citizens and learn a bit about grant writing yourself. Please register by SAT, APR 8.
