A Shared Commitment to Driving Change
The National Incarceration Association (NIA) is focused on supporting and advocating for families affected by incarceration. Although the NIA has a clear passion and numerous ideas, they recognized the need for a roadmap to guide their next steps. Through a recommendation, they reached out to CCT Atlanta and applied for pro bono consulting support.
The CCT Atlanta Approach
Like many of our projects, this partnership began with listening. We aimed to understand NIA’s core values, pain points, and long-term vision. Our dedicated team of volunteer consultants brought diverse skill sets and perspectives to the table. We conducted interviews and worked closely with NIA’s leadership to identify organizational strengths and areas for improvement.
Guided by NIA’s mission, we collaborated to produce a strategic plan that empowered the organization to:
Focus on Core Objectives: We helped prioritize initiatives that align with NIA’s unique mission centered around families and incarceration advocacy.
Unify the Team: By engaging staff and volunteers throughout the planning process, each individual felt invested in the strategic outcome.
Set Clear Metrics for Success: Our consultants established measurable goals and timelines, ensuring the strategic plan resulted in concrete results.
