Grounded in Dr. Matthew J. Camp’s book Tend, this session applies the fire-tending framework to the emotional and organizational work of sustained advocacy — how to keep community energy alive long after the first spark. Steps include:
- Gather — identify the people, relationships, and community assets that are your kindling. • Ignite — turn initial interest into a first concrete act of engagement.
- Tend — build the habits, check-ins, and rituals that keep engagement burning between big moments.
- Breathe — recognize burnout and setbacks early, and reignite momentum mindfully.
Important announcement!
Pay equity is a serious issue for nonprofits, and at NPC, we want to respect the diversity of our community. In honor of that diversity, NPC is now using a new pricing structure for all its workshop programming, based on the The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice (aka The Green Bottle Method), developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk.
This is a simple way to let you choose the price that honestly matches your personal and/or your organization’s financial reality. All tiers get the same offering, and every payment is valued equally. Please reach out if you have any questions or thoughts about this pricing model.
GREEN BOTTLE FULL — For those with steady income who aren’t worried about basics, but are working through debt, building savings, or moving beyond paycheck to paycheck. If family, a partner, or friends could help cover the cost, please consider that first so the scale stays available to others.
GREEN BOTTLE TIPPED — For those who struggle to consistently access health care, housing, food, or child care and are living paycheck to paycheck.
GREEN BOTTLE LOW — For those facing the greatest financial hardship, where cost would otherwise be a barrier to participating at all.
We trust you to choose your own tier. No documentation, no explanation needed — just make your selection at checkout.
