Mobile Workshop Tips
- NeighborWorks mobile workshops bring participants into the area neighborhoods to experience the community, culture, businesses and local fare. Here are some tips to help you prepare for a mobile course:
- Bring comfortable shoes, in case you end up walking some of the neighborhoods.
- Bring money with you for lunches at local establishments.
- Bring a camera — this is a great way to combine a local tour with your career enhancement!
Combine a tour of Los Angeles with one of these courses, designed to combine local awareness and case studies with key knowledge for today's community revitalization needs.
CB180 Community Engagement:
A Mobile Workshop
To supplement your classroom learning in community
development, join us for an in-depth look at community
development in action, with our NTI host city as
the model. Come spend the day "on the road" — in
a mobile workshop — interacting with residents, city
representatives, policy makers, business leaders and
others key to the community engagement process. You'll come back with a deeper understanding of
how this city works, how things get done, and with
concrete, replicable and adaptable examples you
can use in your own city. You will experience not only
what works in this city's community building, community
organizing and community leadership culture,
but also have the opportunity to interact with some
of the people who have been critical change agents.
We'll be eating at a neighborhood location, so bring
money to cover your lunch.
ED180 Community Economic Development:
A Mobile Workshop
Join us for a first-hand look at our NTI host city and
its neighborhoods in this mobile workshop designed
to give you an understanding of the revitalization
of the city’s neighborhoods and strategies that
foster vibrant local economies. We'll tour the city by
bus and on foot as we learn from local community
development organizations and business owners
about how they have catalyzed and strengthened
networks of locally owned independent businesses.
These businesses ensure that money stays within
the community and create jobs for community
residents. Regardless of whether you're an economic
development specialist or a community organizer,
you'll become familiar with specific tools and strategies
that can help you begin to transform your local
economy. You'll also learn more about the Local
Living Economy Movement in the United States.
We'll be eating at a neighborhood location, so bring
money to cover your lunch.
NR124 Reading a Neighborhood: What a Walk
Around the Block Can Tell You
Learn how to quickly analyze what's going on in a
neighborhood during a block walk. What can the
housing stock and businesses tell you? The people
on the street and the streetscape itself? Hone your
observation skills and take home a system to analyze
what you see and how your assumptions can color
your observations. This course includes a site visit
where participants take part in a block walk, perform
an analysis and discuss their findings in terms of
neighborhood revitalization. Participants will come
away with a practical how-to guide for conducting a
block walk in their own communities.
