Surviving and Thriving During Tough Times
In April 2009, CaliforniaVolunteers, in partnership with Bank of America, Taproot Foundation, and over 30 local organizations, hosted a series of six conferences across the state, providing key training to over 1,000 nonprofit leaders.
California Cities of Service
On May 26-27, CaliforniaVolunteers’ Business Partners Program, in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies, convened California mayors from the Cities of Service coalition, a bi-partisan coalition of mayors from large and small cities across the nation who have pledged to work together to expand high-impact service and volunteering. The California Cities of Service mayors convened to learn and share innovative strategies to harness the power of volunteers to help address critical community needs. The meeting included a guided exercise on developing a comprehensive high-impact city service plan, a panel on cultivating business partnerships as a service strategy, and opportunities for mayors and city staff to network and share best practices.
