2.1.3: Partner Training
Develop the Partnership Training Program (PTP) to train others how to work with families using our Demonstration model. Other Information:
Demonstration Partnerships -- In the past few years, community members, city officials, funders, and nonprofit leaders from
cities all over the country have contacted FII to ask us for help bringing our approach to their community. We do hear you!
That is why we have launched the FII Mobility Institute, to share our tools and principles with the range of people who want
to implement them. FII is currently developing the Partnership Training Program (PTP) to train others how to work with families
using our Demonstration model. PTP will bring together professional program leadership and members of the communities they
serve with FII staff to learn together how to implement FII's model. Key to FII's model is shifting the leadership for change
to low-income communities and families. In our own Demonstrations we abdicate power by encouraging families to lead their
own change process. Key to the training will be facilitating this same shift in power — program leaders will learn to cede
power to the community members with whom they are in training. Engaging in the training together will create built-in accountability
for everyone involved. To find out more about the Partnership Training Program email michelle@fiinet.org
