Community Partner Testimonials

  • "I am engaging in other leadership spaces and this space has a perfect balance of learning/capacity development and truth/being real. As a new leader, I felt it was refreshing and was great for me to find my voice. I wouldn't have been able to comfortably navigate other spaces without having this experience."

    - AMPT Cohort participant

  • "AMPT is a wonderful resource for community leaders in the nonprofit world. Being able to connect with like-minded folks who are passionate about their work, knowledgeable about the systems and structures needed to strengthen nonprofit organizations, and committed to uplifting Brown and Black communities in Chicago has been invaluable. I have learned so much in the spaces AMPT has created that push us to reflect on and refine our practice. My participation in the various cohorts and workshops has allowed me to share my strengths and areas for growth with their team and other nonprofit leaders on the south and west sides of the city so that we can all grow together in meaningful ways. I feel part of a powerful movement that will transform our communities and affect real change in Chicago and beyond."

  • "The cohort experience has helped me by providing mentors who were knowledgeable about boards, mission, fundraising, grants and so much more. The mentors I receive help validate my direction and help keep me focused. It has also helped me enlarge my network from resource support. As a new nonprofit the guidance encourages me to keep moving forward."
