Imagine Miami

Imagine Miami is the "civic network" of the Human Services Coalition. It connects people who care about South Florida and are doing something to make it a better place.

Here's how to help us imagine and act to make Miami-Dade a better place:

Imagine Miami Changemaker Conferences: Based on the success of our Summit on Arts, Culture & Civic Engagement (in 2008), we launched a three-year series of "Changemaker Conferences," with each gathering building upon the previous gathering. The latest installment of Imagine Miami: Meaningful Youth Engagement, featuring keynote speaker Adam Fletcher of The Free Child Project, will take place Friday, January 14, 2011 at Temple Israel. See the flyer below for more information.

Registration: $20. Continental breakfast and lunch included.
Contact Lori Deus at lorid@hscdade.org or 305-576-5001 x17.
PRE-REGISTRATION BY JANUARY 12 IS REQUIRED!

A limited number of scholarships are currently available for those who wish to attend Imagine Miami but can not afford the registration fee. The scholarship request form and instructions on how to submit it can be accessed here.

Learn about a prior Imagine Miami conference, which focused on tax, budget and equality issues. In between the conferences, we're helping folks move their inspiration into action with workshops and advocacy/leadership programs like ACT (Advocacy Corps Trainings), and our Ning (more info below).

Conversation Cafes: We offer our own seasonal breakfast panel discussions, and encourage residents to create their own opportunities for community discussion and dialogue. Are you interested in facilitating or participating in a community conversation? We've identified locations across the county where you can join other residents in conversations about specific ways to make positive change in Miami-Dade communities. learn more

Workshops and Training: We occasionally offer workshops and trainings on topics such as World Cafe dialogue, social/civic networking, community mapping online, etc.

Online Social/Civic Networking: Connect with other local changemakers online via our Ning or Facebook fan page.

Action & Resource Guides: We've created a number of guides that can help you link to local services, resources and opportunities to volunteer, get engaged in your community, and deepen your community leadership skills. Find the guides in our Resources section.
