Comprehensive Development Academy |
The new and improved Comprehensive Development Academy (CDA) focuses on intersectional training leading to equitable outcomes in community and economic development. As an equity-centered program, the CDA educates and empowers community advocates and practitioners alike to take a leadership role in civic and community engagement. As opposed to the Capacity Building Institute (CBI) which is designed to deepen expertise within a specific discipline, the CDA helps expand breadth and broaden understanding of the various channels within the field to be more interdisciplinary and interconnected.
Our Academy is an inclusive environment and welcomes members and/or the public to participate. The thoughtfully curated content includes introductory and advance level training on numerous topics and is catered to the local landscape and current events. We frequently survey our members for feedback on training needs and interests to develop content that is both timely and accessible. Outcomes of the program include a better educated and connected development pool, strong networks and community partnerships, and a South Florida where community advocates, practitioners, and allies are familiar with and value all the facets that makeup impactful comprehensive development. Some of the previous seminars and/or webinars presented include:
