Using the Strategic Partnerships Toolkit

This online toolkit is designed to support DYCD-funded nonprofits in youth and community work across New York City in building and strengthening strategic partnerships. To get the most out of it, we recommend starting with the embedded assessment to reflect on your current partnership practices and identify areas for growth. Then, explore our collection of training materials and graphic organizers to help plan, launch, and sustain effective collaborations. Be sure to browse the Resources tab for tools, templates, and case studies that can support your work. Finally, check out interviews with experienced program providers in the field for real-world insights and strategies you can apply to your own partnerships. Dive in and find the tools that will help your partnerships thrive!
