Masterclass Grant Writing for Non-profits
The Masterclass will be an invaluable opportunity for anyone looking to enhance their grant-writing skills and increase their chances of
securing funding for their projects. With over $201 million in successfully written grants for nonprofit organizations, LEARN has established itself as a national leader in strategic planning and grant development.
CDA Training
LEARN offers expedited training for individuals seeking to earn their Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in a short timeframe. The CDA, administered by the Council for Professional Recognition in Washington, DC, is a nationally recognized certification for early childhood professionals. Through this program, candidates complete 120 hours of training across eight key subject areas, develop a comprehensive professional portfolio, gather parent feedback through questionnaires, and undergo an in-class observation by a Professional Development Specialist.
Strategic Planning for Nonprofits
Strategic planning for nonprofits is about charting a clear path toward achieving your mission. It’s a collaborative process where your team comes together to define your long-term goals, assess your strengths and challenges, and outline the steps needed to make a meaningful impact.
By aligning your actions with your mission, you ensure your resources are used wisely to serve your community. It’s also an evolving process—one that adapts as your organization grows and the needs of those you serve change. This helps you stay focused and responsive to the people who rely on you.
