Community Action Partners - Brainstorm Volunteer Application

CAP Brainstorms

Brainstorms allow CAP to serve a wide variety of nonprofit clients, especially those who are small or whose issues don’t fit with the CAP Consulting multi-month pro-bono consulting engagements.

Brainstorms allow alumni to put their skills to use in service of local nonprofits with a limited time commitment. Examples of recent brainstorming session topics include: succession planning; board governance; impact measurement and reporting; ways to increase an organization’s visibility and reach; and staffing structures for continued growth.

**Unless otherwise specified, Brainstorm sessions will be held virtually via Zoom.

Think Outside the Vox - NEW DATE!

Think Outside the Vox operates at the intersection of Culture and Access. They support theaters and other cultural institutions by embedding accessibility into their programs and operations. This fosters employment and career opportunities for Blind, Deaf, Disabled artists and access professionals. In 2025 alone Vox employed 147 access professionals across 67 productions and reached over 70,00audience members.

This Brainstorm will focus on how Vox measures and communicates impact, particularly when they engage funders. Vox reports on service delivery, but is missing a reliable way to show what changed as a result -- whether that's a patron's experience, a partner institution's practices, or the broader arts sector's approach to accessibility. They’re hoping to develop metrics and communication approaches from this session.

The Details: Tuesday, November 10th, from 6-8pm via Zoom.
