For nonprofit leadership, staff, and volunteers.

2024 SEE Learning & Implementation Cohort

Nonprofit organizations in East-Central, Iowa and greater St. Louis, Missouri are invited to participate in the upcoming Supportive Environments for Effectiveness (SEE) learning and implementation cohorts. While exploring the SEE framework with coworkers and peers, participants will consider the different organizational challenges they face (e.g., high turnover, board disengagement, and volunteer retention). Each organization will select a focus area relevant to their work and will try out a small experiment to shift their work environments in an attempt to address that challenge and bring out the best in their people.

Applications for our 2024 programs are currently open and being accepted through Monday, March 18th, 2024. Please see the requirements below and contact ambassadors@redirect.org with any questions.

Program Benefits

Participating organizations will receive:

  • 15+ hours of interactive training and collaboration (see session dates here).

  • Grant funding of up to $10,000 for your nonprofit’s time and resources implementing SEE

  • Individual, personalized coaching and support

  • Activities and tools to support your SEE learning

“The SEE framework has helped us to understand that something as huge as cultural change does not happen at the flip of a switch. It truly is the collective of many small changes that come together to create changes in mindset.”

-Amy Guardado, Executive Director of House of Hope

Process

Deadlines

Schedule & Locations

In 2023, reDirect awarded funding to 18 organizations through our SEE cohort programs.

"Some of the exercises in the cohort help you generally stop, and peel back layers on an issue to uncover and recenter the intention of the work...really focusing on 'the why' and the meaning people find in the mission."

Applications for our 2024 SEE Learning & Implementation Cohort are currently open and being accepted through March 18th, 2024.

Organizations participating in previous cohorts have had full-time staff ranging from 4 to more than 200 individuals.

After the close of the application period, reDirect will reach out to qualifying applicants to schedule a half an hour conversation in order to determine the final cohort of participating organizations. Selected organizations for the 2024 cohort will be notified by Friday, April 5th.

Please visit our FAQ page for additional information. This is a live document that is updated as questions are submitted. For other questions about the program, please email ambassadors@redirect.org or attend our office hours.

reDirect’s cohort-based programs were launched in Denver, CO in 2016. We have since expanded to include the greater St.Louis, MO area, and East-Central Iowa. 

Our programs allow organizations to participate in both virtual sessions and in-person gatherings, strengthening their connections to the local nonprofit community. The full 2024 SEE Learning & Implementation program schedule can be found here, with key dates featured below:

  • Application deadline - March 18th

  • Cohort Selection - April 5th

  • Cohort Sessions - May-August

  • Cohort Wrap-Up - November 1st

"The focus on overwhelm and some of the strategies to address that head-on, instead of just accepting that as a 'fact of life' when you're in a nonprofit, was helpful for me, and something that I'm trying to integrate more into our office culture."
