From Theory of Change to a Practice of Change Workshop

On Campus, July 15th, 2025 6-8 PM

This interactive, two-hour workshop is designed to help nonprofit professionals and social impact leaders bridge the gap between strategic planning and daily practice. Many organizations develop a Theory of Change, yet struggle to implement it effectively in their day-to-day work. This session will demystify Theory of Change by breaking it down into a practical, actionable framework that guides decision-making, problem-solving, and continuous learning.

Participants will engage in a structured process to:

Clarify the problem they are trying to solve and uncover underlying assumptions.
Reframe their perspective to identify new opportunities and approaches. Translate complex change strategies into clear, actionable steps.
Develop small-scale experiments to test and refine their approach in real time.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a concrete plan for applying these concepts within their organizations, along with tools to foster a culture of adaptive learning and outcome-driven impact.

Workshop Delivery & Learning Approach:
The session will be delivered synchronously in a virtual format and will incorporate student-centered learning approaches, including:

Interactive discussions and reflection prompts to encourage engagement.
Hands-on exercises and real-world application, allowing participants to work through their own organizational challenges.
Multiple modes of learning, ensuring accessibility and alignment with ADA best practices.

Intended Audience:
This workshop is designed for nonprofit professionals, organizational leaders, and changemakers seeking practical strategies to move from planning to action.
