Partnerships Academy

Partnerships Academy is a training program that supports community-based park groups and individual volunteers to achieve success.

Partnerships Academy offers two types of programs:

Partnerships Academy Fellowship is geared towards community groups who are committed to getting to the next level of their development as a group or with a specific project. Fellowship participants work with Partnerships for Parks to create a timeline for their initiative, and get support to achieve it through coaching and peer support. Our in-person sessions will help you define your goals, develop an action plan, monitor your progress, and evaluate your work. The deadline for Partnerships Academy Fellowship applications is Friday, January 11, 2013, and the Fellowship runs from February to July 2013.
