How do we get ourselves unstuck? Social issues are complex, and almost always interconnected. Forefront and Greater Good Studio are partnering to create a space to think about how we solve big social issues. How can nonprofits and grantmakers think about our partnerships in a new way? What if we can step back and plan for the ways our work intersects and can potentially support greater impact for good in our communities?

Greater Good Studio has been working with social sector clients to reframe problems for the past 12 years. We find that the original problem statement often has one or more of the following issues:

• It’s focused entirely on symptoms, while root causes continue undeterred
• It’s centering the wrong humans, or no humans at all
• It’s so vast that the only thing it inspires is overwhelm

Whether you’re a designer looking to make a positive impact or a changemaker looking to get unstuck, this workshop will give you concrete tools for starting or restarting your projects in a more strategic, action-oriented, and equitable way.

You will learn and practice methods for:

• Mapping root causes
• Writing positive goals
• Centering the humans most impacted

Greater Good Studio’s co-founder, George Aye, will facilitate this live, 3-hour workshop. They have applied these methods to hundreds of projects across the social sector, including in education, community development, public health and healthcare, economic inclusion, civic participation, and arts & culture.
