Applications Close for the Social Sector Lab!

AMPT is collaborating with the Social Sector Leadership Program (SSL) at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice!

SSL is offering a new “Social Sector Lab” 9 week course, which will match teams of students with AMPT-affiliated organizations to examine a central strategic question that, if answered, could help you make an important decision that could increase your impact.

We are excited to collaborate with this program on this new class, which will emphasize AMPT values of centering community organizations and their leadership in the work of antiracist capacity-building.

Applications close December 16th. If you have any questions, contact Director of People & Programs Ana Agarrat Abel at ana@amptchicago.org.
