Integrating Social Change Principles into Service Provision

During the “Integrating Social Change Principles into Service Provision” workshop at the 2018 Hunger Free Communities Summit, the Building Movement Project will offer a framework for exploring (or understanding) the range of ways that social service organizations integrate their social change principles into their everyday work. Appetite for Change will offer a “living case study” of how these principles may be applied in a real and local context. The workshop will guide participants through an assessment of their organization’s activities based on a scale of constituent engagement. Through group and partner discussion, as well as individual reflection, workshop participants will consider aspirational organizational activities and map out possible next steps. Attendees will also learn from both Building Movement Projectand Appetite for Change about various types of power and how power dynamics play into service delivery work and efforts to integrate social change principals into that work. Attendees will leave with tangible resources for integrating meaningful constituent engagement, wherever they may be in the process of advancing progressive social change.
