Partakers has helped people get B.U. degrees while they are behind bars. Partakers is supported by an extraordinary and growing group of over 400 volunteer mentors. Their mentors dedicate their time and hearts to their students, often over a period of years. FUUSN in the past has had many volunteers meet monthly with prisoners to encourage them as they work for their degrees. Come hear about the exciting work of this organization.

Appreciative Inquiry Meeting
2024-10-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Alliance Room, 1326 Washington St., West Newton, MA, 02465, United States
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is defined as “an asset-based approach to organizational and social engagement that utilizes questions and dialogue to help participants uncover existing strengths, advantages, or opportunities” in their organizations, including congregations. We will create questions to help identify FUUSN’s strengths and opportunities. We want to hear what works well, when was FUUSN at its best, and what draws you to this congregation. We also hope that you’ll get to know us better as well. These conversations will help set the stage for our work with the congregation on mission, vision, governance, and strategic planning.
