Peer Assist Workshop: Purpose and Instructions

  • Structured process to help participants problem solve, and

assist with, a particular challenge being faced by a colleague Purpose

  • Attendees will break into three rooms; each room will hear from

two volunteers (see next slide for discussion topics)

  • Peer assist volunteer #1 gives an overview of the problem and

frames the discussion with a specific question (10 min)

  • The group asks clarifying questions (5 min)
  • The group talks to each other about the dilemma related to the

questions framed by the presenter around the issue. During this time the presenter should listen to the discussion (10 min)

  • The presenter responds to what s/he has heard; and the group

discusses it as a whole (15 min)

  • Repeat the process a second time, with peer assist volunteer

#2 sharing their question and discussing with their breakout group using the same process (40 min) Instructions

Peer Assist Workshop: Volunteers and Topics

Room Volunteer Peer Assist Question / Topic Timing

Large Conf. Room

(current room)

Laura Jean Watters, The Staten Island Foundation What’s the role of “authentic voices” at the table in collective impact? How do you address underlying tensions of different perspectives from those who represent the community and from service providers?

Round 1: 1:20- 2:00pm

Kimberly Bash, The Findlay- Hancock County Community Foundation Seeking insight on communication, including how best to communicate where we are in the process, why we are doing collective impact in the first place, how we continue to be focused on best practices or strategies / process improvement with our collective impact efforts, and how to communicate to different groups in the community (e.g., groups who receive funding, other community partners, donors, larger community)

Round 2: 2:00- 2:40pm

Medium Conf. Room

(same floor, different room)

Jennifer Roynon, Ontario Trillium Foundation How do we establish and maintain communication channels / feedback loops with other members of the collaborative, not just the lead

  • rganization or backbone? How do we ensure that the community or people

with lived experience do indeed have decision-making power as part of the collaborative?

Round 1: 1:20- 2:00pm

Debilyn Molineaux, Bridge Alliance How have funders and their partners identified objective outcomes when they are doing subjective work (e.g., building trust) with collective impact initiatives? What are your suggestions for assessing qualitative metrics of progress that might be hard to quantify in collective impact?

Round 2: 2:00- 2:40pm

Whichever room you choose is the room you stay in for both rounds of peer assists. We will break at 2:45pm and return as a full group at 3pm

Report Out and Group Discussion on Peer Assist Workshop

  • For the peer assist volunteers, what was the experience like

for you? ‒ What were some of the most helpful insights from your funder peers? What are major tips that emerged from your peer assist discussions that you want to share with full group? ‒ What are some unanswered questions that came up in your peer assist discussions that you want to “crowd-source” with the full group?

  • For those providing feedback / advice, what are notable

takeaways for you about the conversations?

  • What are questions / topics that didn’t come up today that

you’d like to see covered in future COP calls or meetings?
