Data-Backed Member Engagement Strategies
This eBook reveals the top 5 barriers to participation at community centers and offers practical, tech-friendly strategies to increase signups and engagement. Built for Nonprofit leaders looking to make a bigger impact with the tools they already have.

What's in the eBook?
You’re already doing important work—offering programs that support health, connection, and community. But even the best programming can miss reaching current members (or prospective members), if they face hidden barriers to participation.
We asked over 300 community members what’s really getting in the way. Their answers revealed five common, yet often overlooked, challenges that are keeping people from joining in—and what you can do to change that.
This eBook, How to Increase Program Participation at Your Community Center: Data-Backed Member Engagement Strategies, distills that feedback into practical ideas you can implement with the tools and teams you already have.
