How does
technical assistance impact the people an organization serves?
Technical assistance can increase an organization/program’s ability to achieve
its mission and strengthen its programming in many different ways. For example,
a project that helps an organization to develop its board’s fundraising skills
will give that organization tools to raise additional funds. With more funds, an
organization can serve more youth. Technical assistance services strengthen
organizations so they are able to devote themselves to doing what they do best,
which is supporting New York City youth, communities and families.
Why do organizations need technical
assistance services? Organizations require technical assistance
services for a range of reasons including things like
-
increasing programmatic impact,
-
strengthening
organizational infrastructure,
-
navigating a transition
or crisis at the organization and
-
facing external
challenges.
