Deep Dive Workshop: Canva in Action

Content Creation for Climate Leaders

Want to strengthen your community outreach with clearer visuals and more engaging content?

This hands-on Canva workshop is designed for climate and community leaders who want practical skills they can immediately apply to their outreach efforts. Whether you manage social media, newsletters, or event promotions, this training will help you create compelling graphics and communications materials with confidence.

You’ll learn how to:

• Design clean, eye-catching graphics in Canva
• Create social media posts and outreach visuals
• Apply simple design principles that make content easier to read and share
• Build templates you can reuse for future campaigns

This is a hands-on session — bring your laptop and come ready to create.

Option A: In-Person Workshop

📅 April 8 | 5:30 – 7:00 PM
📍 Bentley University (following the conference)

Join us immediately after the conference for a hands-on Canva session with instructor Daniela Salazar. Participants will also have the option to stay and work on their own projects with guidance from Daniela until 8:30 PM.

This option is free of charge for those already registered for the conference.

Please note: refreshments are not included. A café is available on the first floor of the LaCava Center if you would like to purchase food before the session.

Strong community engagement requires sustainable funding. This hands-on workshop is designed for community and grassroots organizations — both new and established — that want to move beyond short-term projects and build lasting momentum.

If your organization struggles with reaching audiences beyond the “choir,” maintaining volunteer energy, securing stakeholder support, or sustaining long-term initiatives, this workshop is for you.

Together, we’ll explore why funding is essential, how much funding is realistically needed, the difference between restricted and unrestricted funding, and the range of funding sources available to community organizations. You’ll work through practical examples, use ready-to-go templates, and develop a custom Funding Playbook — a step-by-step plan to raise your first $10,000.

Takeaway: Leave with a personalized fundraising plan you can put into action immediately.

Conference special rate: $85
(Ordinarily $450. 100% reimbursable for qualifying organizations through the Workforce Training Fund Program — ask us if you qualify.)

Ready to turn your outreach ideas into professional-quality content?

This hands-on Deep Dive Workshop equips climate and community leaders with practical design and tracking tools to strengthen real-world outreach. Participants will receive guided instruction and live practice in Canva — from still graphics to animated video — and learn how to track engagement using Bit.ly and the MassEnergize Outreach Planner.

You won’t just watch — you’ll build.

Through step-by-step exercises, participants will design graphics, experiment with motion and video, organize campaigns, and learn how to measure impact. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with finished assets, templates, and a repeatable workflow you can immediately apply in your own community.

Ideal for beginners and intermediate users alike, this workshop focuses on confidence, muscle memory, and practical execution — not theory.

Conference special rate: $85
