Effective Charity 101 Workshop (by Shared City)

Want to make a real difference in your community? Not all charity efforts create lasting change—but we can learn to help better.

Join us for a practical, eye-opening workshop on how compassion, charity, and justice work together to create impact. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls, build relationships that empower, and engage in community development that leads to real change.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ What makes charity effective—and what can unintentionally cause harm

✔ The real causes of poverty and why defining it correctly matters

✔ Relief, rehabilitation, and development—and when to apply each

✔ Common challenges to impact—like the benefits cliff and cultural differences

✔ How to transition from “doing for” to “doing with” for sustainable change

Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, you’ll gain practical tools to make your volunteering and giving more impactful. Whether you’re new to community work or a seasoned leader, this workshop will challenge and equip you to do good better.
