Goff Public Pro Bono Nonprofit Communications Training Program
As part of Goff Public’s ongoing commitment to support nonprofit organizations doing meaningful work in our communities, we are launching a new training program in 2024. The Goff Comms Cohort is open to Minnesota-based nonprofits and advocacy organizations who could use our help amplifying and supporting their efforts. Applications are now open! A cohort of 15 nonprofit leaders will be selected to participate in a series of three training sessions in 2024.
This free training program for nonprofit leaders – The Goff Comms Cohort – will provide an opportunity to learn about advocacy and communications from the experts at Goff while networking with peers. This program will help leaders learn how to develop effective messaging; identify strong, media-ready stories; be a confident spokesperson; and advance civic and policy goals.
Training sessions
Cohort members should commit to attending each of the three, three-hour training sessions in 2024. A virtual option is not available.
