Strategic Partnerships

The YEO Network's strategic partners initiative is an effective tool for connecting the work of progressive organizations to maximize outcomes. It provides the connective tissue necessary to avoid duplication of work and increase effectiveness of involved organizations. Through the partnership, YEOs have access to trainings and conferences, partner organization material, and partner organization fellowship programs.

YEO has sustained strong and effective relationships with progressive strategic partner organizations since its launch. Network members have served as project analyst and consultants to partners helping to guide their policy work, participated as panelist for various conferences and been the recipient of numerous policy and training support from organizations.

Some of our 2008 strategic partners included:

• Center for Law and Social Policy
• Center for Policy Alternatives
• Center for Progressive Leadership
• City Futures and the Center for an Urban Future
• Democracy Collaborative
• Drum Major Institute for Public Policy
• Justice Matters
• People For the American Way and People For the American Way Foundation
• Progressive States Network
• Wellstone Action
• Young People For
  

Strategic partners will be chief in YEO’s 2009 plans to produce more training and policy resources to Network Members.
