How to make room for joy this giving season

November 17, 2026 @ 2PM ET

Whether this season feels heavy, hopeful, or a little of both, joy belongs in it. For generations, communities who’ve been pushed to the margins have turned to joy, humor, and laughter to weather storms, celebrate wins, and keep showing up for each other. Anyone can practice joy, and every nonprofit team can benefit from it.

Join storyteller and relationship cultivator Frank Velásquez Jr. for an interactive workshop on how humor and joy build trust, ease tension, and make room for honest conversations at every level of your organization. Come ready for joy in real time, complete with a real-life “horror story.” You’ll leave with ways to bring more joy into your work, whatever your season looks like.

This webinar is worth 1 CFRE credit.
