The WHY

Parks and recreation professionals across California are navigating increasing pressure to do more with limited resources while managing aging infrastructure, rising expectations, staff challenges, and financial uncertainty.
The Financial Sustainability Certificate Program (FSCP) was designed to help professionals think differently about fiscal stewardship, service delivery, and organizational responsibility.  Since its launch, over a thousand professionals have participated in the FSCP and begun important conversations within their organizations. 
But implementation is often the most challenging part. 
Many professionals leave the FSCP energized and motivated, only to encounter competing priorities, organizational resistance, limited capacity, political realities, or uncertainty about where to begin.  Others make progress in some areas while struggling to sustain momentum in others.  
The FSCP Implementation Workshop was created for that reality.  This workshop is designed specifically for FSCP alumni working to apply the principles, tools, and frameworks introduced in Part 1 and 2 within organizations facing real constraints.  Rather than introducing entirely new concepts, the workshop focuses on application, implementation, troubleshooting, peer learning and practical next steps. 

The LESSONS

The FSCP Implementation Workshop creates space for honest discussion about those realities while helping participants identify practical pathways forward.

Participants will:

  • Reflect on what has happened since attending the FSCP
  • Identify implementation blockers and leverage points
  • Revisit and apply the FSCP tools in practical ways
  • Work through real organizational challenges with peers
  • Learn strategies for building momentum and getting unstuck
  • Develop realistic next steps grounded in their organization’s reality
  • Strengthen connections within the growing the FSCP alumni network

Note: Completion of part one and part two of the Financial Sustainability Certificate Program is required.

Students are seated ready to engage in the workshop.

Calendar

The WHO

The FSCP Implementation Workshop is designed for alumni of FSCP Part 1 and/or Part 2 and is ideal for:

  • Directors and senior leadership
  • Managers and supervisors
  • Analysts and coordinators
  • Planning and administrative staff
  • Financial sustainability champions within organizations
  • Agencies actively working to implement stewardship practices
  • Sustainability champions with organizations

Organizations are strongly encouraged to send multiple participants. Shared participation creates shared language, stronger alignment, greater accountability, and increased capacity to move implementation efforts forward internally.
