Collective Impact is a term coined by FSG (Foundation Strategy Group) to describe highly structured collaborative efforts that achieve substantial impact on a large scale.
We believe that this concept can go a long way in creating a more sustainable world.
We offer our Toronto based courses at Evergreen Brick Works. We are grateful for the support of our Program Partner, Evergreen, a national charity that makes cities more livable. Courses are held in Evergreen's LEED NC Platinum (pending) Centre for Green Cities and is part of the Evergreen CityWORKS continuing education offerings. Learn more about Evergreen CityWORKS here.
