SUMMARY:MEMBER-EXCLUSIVE: Virtual Policy Forum: Advancing Poverty Solutions at City Hall
DESCRIPTION:This is a True Charity Network member-exclusive event. You can become a member here: Join the Network \n  \n\nIf you work directly with people in poverty\, your voice is essential in shaping policies that affect them. The most practical and powerful place to start is in your own community.\n\nYou’re more than an advocate. You’re a subject matter expert who sees the challenges of poverty up close. When city leaders hear your informed perspective and see your sincere desire to solve real problems\, they’re far more likely to view you as a trusted ally—not a critic or competitor. \n\nJoin us for our annual policy forum as we discuss proven strategies for influencing local policy at city hall. This event is for you if you’ve ever felt:\n\nDoubtful that your voice can shape local decisions\nIntimidated by the idea of engaging city leaders\nUnsure which city policies need your input\n\n\nYou’ll hear from Patrick Tuohey of the Better Cities Project\, who equips engaged citizens to drive municipal policy change that protects work\, housing\, and educational opportunities\, and more\, for all. \n\nThis Network member-exclusive forum offers both presentation and open discussion—so come ready with your questions\, insights\, and a willingness to engage. The format is longer than our typical webinar at 90 minutes\, and we will encourage “camera-on” discussion in the last half of the event. Together\, we’ll explore how we can drive meaningful policy change in our own communities.

SUMMARY:Reaching the Unsheltered Homeless: Tips for Impactful Outreach Programs
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time\nJun 26\, 2025 12:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)\n\n\nDescription\n\nHomelessness in the United States has reached historic levels across nearly all populations — including those experiencing unsheltered homelessness. As of 2024\, more than 152\,000 people live in chronic homelessness — one in three of the total homeless population\, and a 27% increase over the past 17 years. \nThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines “unsheltered homeless” as individuals whose primary nighttime location is a public or private place not meant for sleeping — including tents\, sidewalks\, vehicles\, and encampments. Despite increased shelter capacity and record-level funding\, the crisis continues to escalate. \nSo\, what can be done? \nAt the heart of long-term change is relationship — one that combines compassion\, discernment\, and challenge. In this webinar\, we’ll explore how relationship-based outreach can lead people from survival on the streets to a flourishing life. \nTopics include: \n-How to break through walls of mistrust to build genuine\, reciprocal relationships \n-Tips for assembling and training a team to engage with the unsheltered homeless \n-Strategies to encourage the use of local resources that promote stability and dignity \nOur featured speaker serves as the Evangelism Coordinator at Watered Gardens Ministries\, where she leads outreach efforts to connect with the unsheltered in her community. She brings firsthand insights\, practical tips\, and hope-filled stories from the front lines. \nJoin us for an honest and hopeful conversation on reaching the unreachable — and helping them find a path home.

SUMMARY:Defend Your Liberty with Strong Governing Documents
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Patrick Piccolo\, Alliance Defending Freedom\, Legal Counsel\n\nIn a turbulent culture\, is your nonprofit or church protected from religious liberty threats? Culture influences our nation’s laws\, and those laws may affect your ministry.\n\nIn our current challenging legal environment\, churches and nonprofits need to consider questions like the following:\n-Do sexual orientation or gender identity laws challenge your organization’s core values?\n-What employment policies should you have in place to bolster your ministry’s religious freedom protections?\n-Do your governing documents sufficiently protect your organization should you be sued for discrimination?\n\nThankfully\, you don’t have to navigate these legal questions alone. In this webinar\, Alliance Defending Freedom\, the largest legal ministry in the world\, will detail current legal challenges Christian ministries are facing and share practical steps to safeguard your religious liberty so you can continue your ministry in accordance with your beliefs.\n\nDuring this live event\, you can expect to:\n-Learn how to strengthen your governing documents to provide a strong legal foundation for your ministry’s religious liberty\n-Discover how the ADF Church & Ministry Alliance program can support your ministry’s mission\n-Engage in a live Q&A session with an ADF attorney to help answer your questions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

He’ll be sharing his years of experience in discerning when someone with a criminal background is ready for the responsibility of a job or volunteer position. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4416897967529/WN_CeW4d6YVS6y1ushbuVfAtw” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
