Technical Assistance
& Consulting
Every organization's needs are unique, which is
why GLCYD believes it is important to offer tailored approaches
to tackling the issues and challenges nonprofits are facing today.
Our first step is building a well-rounded understanding of what
your organization needs, what resources are available, and how
GLCYD can help. We have assisted clients on projects ranging from
communications audits and identifying clients to replacing disappearing
funding sources and facilitating strategic planning sessions with
board members.

Foundation Prospect Research
There are countless foundations poised to support
just as many nonprofit endeavors. Often times the real challenge
is sorting through all the possible funding sources to find out
which are the best fit for your organization's mission and programs.
Foundation Prospect Research simplifies and streamlines that process,
pulling organizations out of the time consuming search process
and putting them back on the track to making a difference in their
communities.
Workshops and Training
Our workshops help nonprofit staff, volunteers and
community members identify how to be more effective in the communities
they serve. Planned and customized workshops offer everything
from being a powerful force in creating a healthy youth environment
to how to write press release on your next event.

Upper Peninsula Nonprofit Conference
The U.P. Nonprofit Conference is the only regional
chance to gather with leaders, staff, board members and volunteers
of other nonprofits for a day of networking, workshops and speakers,
discussion and collaboration, drawings, exhibits, tools, ideas,
and resources. People from throughout the U.P. and beyond gather
each fall to share ideas and fire up the passions that drive their
nonprofit missions and visions.

Youth-Focused Programs and Research
Our youth-focused work focuses on continually improving
the environment for young people in our communities and supporting
efforts of other organizations striving to do the same. Programs
like Excellence in Education and Put the "You" into
Youth Award celebrate successes in positive youth development.
Projects like Learning Networks, work in substance abuse prevention
and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Initiative work to provide a board
range of knowledge and resources to communities. Learning just
how well we are doing when it comes to giving our young people
what they need to grow into healthy, caring adults is done through
efforts such as youth asset surveys and the State of the Youth
Report.

One of the many projects that the GLCYD is involved in is the Young Artists Art Gallery. The gallery allows local students to see their creative work displayed on-line, making it easy for parents, friends and family to share their work.
