Community Education Centre (CEC)
The Community Education Centre (CEC) is one of the core pillars of the Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP). It reflects our commitment to building lasting, accessible infrastructure that helps nonprofit and charitable organizations better understand, interpret, and use data about the sector.
Through the CEC, we offer free, public-facing learning opportunities designed to build confidence in working with data, whether you are just starting out or looking to strengthen existing skills.
Learning to Interpret Data
Data literacy is often described as the ability to examine, analyze, and communicate data in a critical and ethical way. Our goal is to increase confidence in working with data while encouraging thoughtful reflection on how data is collected, interpreted, and used.
Data literacy is broad, but its purpose is essential. Data is everywhere, and the ability to collect, understand, and communicate it meaningfully is vital for informed decision-making, accountability, and impact in today’s nonprofit and charitable sector.
Learning Resources
Live Data Literacy Webinar Series
We are excited to launch a new series of live, interactive data literacy webinars, open and free to the public. These sessions are designed specifically for nonprofit and charitable professionals who want to better understand data but may feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or under-resourced.
Self-Guided Learning: Data Literacy Modules
In addition to our live webinars, the Community Education Centre hosts a growing collection of self-guided data literacy modules. These resources are designed to support professionals working in the nonprofit and charitable sector as they collect, interpret, and communicate data in meaningful ways.
Other Useful Data Literacy Resources
As we continue to expand the Community Education Centre, we also highlight valuable data literacy resources developed by other organizations. While this list is not exhaustive, we hope it helps you find additional tools and training to support your work.
