The Franklin Food Pantry is hosting a workshop on Nonprofit Lifecycles Capacity Building on Wednesday, July 10, 2024

In order for nonprofits to do their important work, they must be strong, capable and durable. In this interactive workshop you'll discover a straightforward assessment tool that looks not only at your programs, but also the requisite management, board, systems, and financial elements that support those programs. The Nonprofit Lifecycles™ Capacity Building model diagnoses your organization's current capacity, sets realistic and achievable goals for growth and sustainable impact, and offers practical tools and strategies to improve your organization's performance.

The workshop will be presented by Heidi Holtz of Stillwork Coaching and Consulting, a Certified Lifecycles Capacity Consultant.

There is no cost to attend, the course is being funded through a grant.

The training will take place from 12:00 to 3:00 PM on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 in Franklin.

Space is limited, please contact Laura Doherty at LDoherty@franklinfoodpantry.org by Thursday, June 13th to RSVP.

We hope you can join us!

FHS restores Community Services Hours as a grad requirement; Let's be ready to take advantage of this!

At a recent Franklin School Committee meeting, Josh Hanna, the Principal of FHS, provided an update on the program of studies at the high school. The update is scheduled annually and gives the community a preview on significant course changes, adds, etc. before the students start registering for the next school year.

One key aspect that was announced can benefit the Franklin area nonprofits; the restoration of Community Services Hours as a graduation requirement at FHS. This becomes effective with the graduating class of 2028.

“Beginning with the class of 2028 Franklin High School students are required to complete 20 hours of community service as part of the requirement for graduation”  https://www.franklinps.net/sites/g/files/vyhlif4431/f/uploads/2024-2025_fhs_program_of_studies_.pdf 

As you have community service hour opportunities, please let Josh know. Please also give advance notice. He plans to be the central contact for now. He also plans to add a section to the FHS newsletter which goes out every 2 weeks to spread the word. Josh’s email is -> hannaj@franklinps.net
