Capacity Building Program
The Enchanté Network Capacity Building Program is comprised of events and networking opportunities for our members that are focused on building capacity within 2SLGBTQ+ service providers. This programme will equip our members with the key skills needed to build or grow a 2SLGBTQ+ organization. We also encourage our network to share knowledge with each other.
In addition to these events, we also offer tailored capacity building support to our members by curating resources and answering members’ questions.
Shared Connections Program
The Enchanté Network’s Shared Connection program is for our member organizations to network, share advice, and ask their peers for support related to running a 2SLGBTQ+ community organization. The aim is to deepen community ties within our membership.
Mentorship Program
Our 12-week Mentorship Program connects individuals from our member organizations with experienced mentors in order to encourage supportive mentorship relationships. An individual seeking guidance will be put in direct contact with a mentor. Our goal is to build connections within our 2SLGBTQ+ network and help our members support their communities.
Eligibility Information for the Program
- Our mentees must be affiliated with one of our member organizations (as an employee or volunteer)
- Our mentors are leaders who hold sexual and/or gender diverse identities and have extensive experience with 2SLGBTQ+ organizations and groups.
Enchante 101
Enchanté 101 is a welcome session available for all our members. We bring together a small group of our members to onboard new members. Our staff tells you about our network’s programs, services and supports we offer exclusively to our members.
In these sessions, our team regularly recommends relevant resources, opportunities and organizations. We use these sessions as an opportunity to connect small and new organizations with the supports they need.
Why do we hold these sessions?
The goal of these sessions is to share information about our network and the support we provide to our members.
The members present receive personalized support as we learn more about your organization and how we can best help you. During these sessions, we also answer any questions you may have about the network.
Who is this for:
Enchanté 101 sessions are for member organizations interested in becoming more connected with the Enchanté Network. This opportunity applies regardless of whether you are a new member, or an older member looking to reconnect with us. We encourage our new members to sign up for one of these sessions, and we also encourage our existing members to consider sending any newly hired staff.
Here is what to expect at our small group sessions:
● A 1 hour meeting focussed on learning about the Enchanté Network, our team, our programs, and our member benefits
● The group onboarding will not exceed 3 groups. This will allow you to meet and engage with other new members.
● You will have the opportunity to talk about your organization, its programs and services, and the needs of your team.
If you are not comfortable being onboarded in a group setting, then please also reach out to set up a separate meeting.
