The goal of the Peer Learning Circles is to respond to the needs of nonprofit leaders serving Delaware County, enhance collaboration, and innovation across the social sector. The learning circle approach is based on an action learning framework in which peers with similar backgrounds and responsibilities come together to learn from each other’s experiences and apply these learnings in their organizations. The circles provide an open space for reflective learning, problem-solving, peer support, and individual growth, guided by an expert facilitator that helps manage the process and discussions.
