DCSJTN Events: Register and Save the Date!

The DC Social Justice Transformations Network (DCSJTN) is holding a Capacity Building workshop on September 4th.  Registration is open:  VNL Registration Form

This Capacity Building Workshop, conducted in partnership with Visible Network Labs (VNL), is titled: Pull Back the Cover of Your Network Map: Using Data to Reveal Insights and Strengthen Impact.”

Behind every network map is a deeper story—one of relationships, trust, opportunity, and collaboration. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to move beyond the big picture and use your network data to uncover gaps, outliers, hidden strengths, and emerging opportunities.

With over 600+ community ties and 77 member organizations, this workshop will help you explore what the data truly means and how to use it to strengthen your organization and community. Whether you are deeply engaged in network-building or just getting started, this session offers timely and practical strategies to help you turn data into action.

Please save the date! The next DCSJTN Convening will be held on October 14, 2025.
