Capacity Building Opportunities

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is committed to helping you scale change faster. We do this through grants, technology and capacity building. With weekly trainings and expert advising we support the CZI community to grow key capacities to unlock greater impact over the long-term. Our trainings span a wide range of capacity building topics. Each live session is 90-minutes and includes time for Q+A. Below you can sign-up for upcoming trainings. You can also opt-in to receive monthly invitations about these sessions here. If you would like to attend a CZI community session and need ASL or Spanish interpretation, please let us know at least 7 days prior at capacitybuilding@chanzuckerberg.com. *The trainers leading these CZI-sponsored sessions are external vendors. The views and advice they will present are based on their deep experience in their respective fields or sectors and do not necessarily represent the views or advice of CZI. Please note that CZI may record their session(s) through Zoom. This means that any visual (if you choose to put your camera on) and audio will be recorded.
