Can you imagine a community that didn't celebrate the arts? Creativity is a key component to community building, and the arts occupy a significant role in bringing people together, defining and providing relief for community problems, and creating collective visions for the future. This lively discussion describes the unique role of the artist as public figure, relaying stories and strategies to make best use of this often under-utilized community resource.

It is a tough truth to embrace, but your mission is bigger than you or your organization. Although you have a "mission statement" that describes what you do, other organizations in your community may address the same or similar human or societal need that you address. How you meet that mission may differ, but donors don't understand why we don't work together to leverage their investments and solve community problems. The needs in our communities continue to grow, and the answer is not to create more organizations: it is to work together as powerful partners to inspire community investment. Through collaborations and informal partnerships, and by learning to speak about our larger mission and not just about our organization, we can inspire much greater community investment from a much wider constituency. Join a provocative and interactive session that guarantees to give you a new perspective on your true mission and how to engage donor-investors at all levels.

How can we make the most of our limited resources without further overworking ourselves? Pro bono can be an answer. This workshop assesses the unique challenges facing organizations, and helps brainstorm ways to meet them in a low-to-no-cost way. Pro bono consultants can significantly expand your organization’s capacity, improve your programs, and lead to better funding, but only if you are prepared to do it right – something the Taproot Foundation knows from experience. Having completed over 1,000 pro bono projects to date, this discussion is an opportunity to learn from and apply Taproot’s best practices. Takeaways include tools to create internal buy-in, scope projects, reach out to potential pro bono consultants, and other resources.

This interactive discussion session focuses on the ways that higher education can promote the civic responsibility of college students and strengthen communities in the process. Drawing on his work in the field, and using concrete examples, Tom Ehrlich discusses how colleges and universities can equip students with the understanding, motivation, and skills of responsible and effective citizenship, and how communities and nonprofit organizations can benefit from neighboring institutions of higher education to promote their civic goals. The discussion includes teaching approaches such as community-service learning and community-based research; emerging issues involving the use of social media for promoting civic learning; and challenges facing community organizations in working with campuses.

San Francisco Treasurer José Cisneros and José Quinonez, Executive Director of the Mission Asset Fund, discuss innovative strategies to provide financial services to underserved communities and the impact these programs have on local and national policy. Under the leadership of Treasurer José Cisneros, San Francisco has emerged as a leader in the financial empowerment field through groundbreaking initiatives such as Bank on San Francisco and Payday Plus SF, which work with financial institutions to create better products and services for those excluded from the financial mainstream. At the same time, the Mission Asset Fund is taking informal practices such as the peer lending circles popular in immigrant communities, and creating financial products that help build credit and formalize participation in the mainstream economy. Both approaches are now seen as national models for reducing financial exclusion. In this session, panelists discuss effective strategies for increasing access to the financial mainstream and the implications these approaches have for local and national policy.

In 2007 the Census Department reported that 300 counties in the country had become majorities of color. By the year 2040 the majority of the country will be non white. In some states like California, Latinos will be the outright majority. What are the opportunities and challenges this rapid demographic change present to strengthening of our democracy and ensuring shared economic prosperity? Led by PolicyLink Associate Director Rubén Lizardo this workshop gave BootCamp participants the opportunity share and discuss strategies for community building and leadership in neighborhoods and cities that are experiencing rapid demographic change.

Local communities can have a powerful effect on their neighborhood environments, and sometimes all it takes is the action of a few caring individuals. With the introduction of a community garden, cleanups, regular meetings, and other healing steps, everything from neighborhood crime to pollution can begin to be remediated. This panel presents several community leaders who have taken just such steps to revitalize and green their neighborhoods, and will offer case studies of successful change and tips on kick starting community growth in your area.

The future of the pursuit of social justice is a critical issue of the day. Emerging “next-generation” leaders are challenged to create 21st Century relevance and engage new, younger and more diverse constituencies in their organizations and causes. Social justice agencies in the Bay Area and nationally are grappling with new realities in a rapidly evolving field. New leadership and communications strategies, tools and tactics are needed to strengthen a sector weakened by decades of attacks on issues of equity and justice. The Levi Strauss Foundation’s new initiative – Pioneers in Justice – will support and invest in new leaders poised to shape the next wave of social justice work. In this session, Pioneers leaders share their stories, emerging ideas and innovative approaches to collaborations and cross-issue work as well as social media and communications tools.

In San Francisco and across the country, recreation and parks budgets have suffered greatly as municipal funding have been cut across the board. In order to sustain our public space and maintain a high quality of urban life, we need to consider new options to grow revenue from both private and public sources, and engage a new generation of volunteers concerned with enhancing community health and beauty.
