We Are All Data People: An Equity-Centered Approach to Increasing Impact

Social sector organizations can increase their impact and advance their missions by cultivating effective, ethical, and equitable data practices. Based on St. Louis social sector input, the Data Science for Social Impact initiative is launching free, accessible programming to build capacity in these areas. We believe we are all data people, and we all have a role to play! Specifically, this initiative will help you and your organization: 

• ASSESS where you are, where you are going , and why
• CULTIVATE data-informed culture
• COLLABORATE with community data partners
• BUILD infrastructure
• TRACK your impact
• ENGAGE stakeholders and translate results into action

Please join us and hear from local and national leaders, connect with a diverse network of social sector colleagues, and explore how upcoming learning opportunities align with your organizational values, goals, and priorities.
