Groundup Connexion
Held on a quarterly basis
We believe in creating opportunities to level up both yourself and your groundup throughout your journey of doing good.
Groundup Connexion is a series of workshops that take place on a quarterly basis, designed to build the capabilities of groundup founders and core volunteers.
We invite experts within our community to share their knowledge, from domains ranging from fundraising to legal registration to succession planning. What's great about the whole experience is that you get to learn and grow whilst meeting like-minded individuals and fellow groundup leaders at the same time!
