The Appalachian Regional Commission is accepting proposals through June 1, 2017, from public, private or nonprofit organizations to provide technical assistance for communications and community outreach to ARC’s Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce and Economic Revitalization (POWER) grantees.
The immediate scope of work includes:
- Assisting participating ARC POWER grantees in strengthening their communications and community outreach skills
- Expanding the communications and community outreach capacity of participating ARC POWER grantees, many of whom have limited staff capacity for these tasks
- Fostering a peer-to-peer communications and community outreach network across participating grantees
The three-part project begins with a brief training session during at ARC’s Peer-to-Peer POWER Convening being held June 28-29, 2017, in Huntington, W.Va. Other tasks include leading regional workshops and technical assistance over the next several months.
