Event

In response to your requests for networking, peer learning and mentorship opportunities, the NYSFPTC is launching its second iteration of a community of practice for FP program directors and managers! This program is tailored for FPP-funded agency staff that provide administrative oversight and thought leadership on the implementation and management of the Title X program, either for their entire agency or at specific agency sites, and are newer to their role of FPP management (up to 7 years of experience).

Program goals:

• Increasing newer FP program directors’ confidence in their ability to manage and implement FPPs
• Increasing participants’ knowledge of core FPP expectations and best practices for meeting those expectations
• Creating greater opportunities for relationship building among program directors across levels of experience
• Facilitating sharing and dissemination of promising practices for implementation and management of FP programs 
• Creating opportunities for participants to collectively strategize to resolve challenges faced as newer FP program directors
• Increasing familiarity among FP program directors of resources available to support program implementation and improvement through the NYS FP Training Center and RHNTC

Benefits of the program:

• 7 virtual (Zoom-based) group sessions of 60-90 minutes, with schedule based on participants’ preference/availability
• 2 Fully funded 1.5 day in-person convening (travel expenses reimbursed) 
• Co-designed educational content with topics informed by participant needs, with a focus on core FPP knowledge such as program requirements, staff training, site visit preparation, data reporting, financial management, and other issues that keep program directors up at night
• Opportunity for 1:1 coaching sessions with NYSFPTC team
• Peer consultation to problem solve a particular challenge at your agency
• Facilitation and support from a range of subject matter experts with knowledge of and experience with the FPP

Apply today – space is limited to approximately 15 participants. The application will ask for your scheduling preferences as well as your challenges and concerns, allowing us to tailor the program to participant needs and priorities.
