CNP3 / Skills Bank

Cal/Neva’s CNP3 (Cal/Neva Peer to Peer Project) training is an innovative tool for agencies to learn best practices and productive strategies from their peers throughout California. It is designed to extend your network of helpful colleagues at community action agencies throughout the state – without the expense in time or money of traveling to another conference or hiring an outside consultant.   

Here’s how CNP3 works:

CNP3 uses a skills bank of peers with expertise to assist any CSBG Network Executive Director who requests assistance for a challenging situation and/or to train management/staff on a variety of subjects. Areas of assistance may include: Fiscal, Asset Building, Board Support, Community Development, History and Purpose of the CAA, Governance/Program Administration, Community Outreach, Evaluation, Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Program Development, among others.

CNP3 activities include:

  • One-to-one exchanges, where staff from one agency may visit staff at another agency, to share information, best practices, etc.
  • Knowledgeable CNP3 Peer Trainers facilitate and support certain types of trainings, technical assistance and peer exchange.

CNP3 activities are based upon your unique needs.  Best of all, this peer volunteer program is at no cost to you.
