December Webinar – Funding for Programs and Services to the Latino Community

Join us for a free, one-hour webinar on December 11th from 10:00-11:00 AM Pacific Time.

This is the best time in the fiscal year to find sources of funding and collaboration. It’s the Holiday season, thoughts turn to human-interest stories and families are gathering to enjoy good times and special memories.

If you have a great program or service you want to implement that will serve the Latino community, and have not secured funding for it yet–we have an opportunity for you! Dr. Camila Alire, my co-author and I will present ideas and tips on how to find funding for programs and services to the Latino community.

In times of challenges to services for the underserved, lack of culturally competent workers, and too often persons in decision making positions that will not support or encourage outreach, one needs a resource that will provide a realistic approach to serving Latinos. If you have read Serving Latino Communities: A How-To-Do-It Manual then you know that Camila and I are sharing our research and passing it on to assist all those willing to reach a most rewarding destination.

Resources of all kinds are necessary to serve any target population. If your aim is to provide the best services to Latinos in your community, the funds to do so will be critical. As you draft your performance goals for work or formulate new year’s resolutions, plan to join us as we share our knowledge and experience. Then take some of these tips and work toward results.

Registration is optional, but if you choose to register and attendthe webinar, you will be entered to win one of two copies we are giving away of Serving Latino Communities: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians. Participants who register AND attend the webinar will also be eligible for a 10% discount on the book from Neal-Schuman Publishers. Select chapters of the book are now available in the Management for Outreacharea of the WebJunction website.

For more information visit Spanish Outreach – In Depth where you’ll find instructions for joining the webinar. I hope you will join us tomorrow. Feel free to post your thoughts, ideas, and comments here before or after the webinar.
