We’re excited to announce that the Peer Organization Growth Academy (POGA) site is now live! The site features courses and resources for peer-run organizations.
POGA was a one-time program developed to support peer-run organizations in Texas. The project and courses were made by peer-run organization leaders for peer-run organization leaders! The program ran from December 2023 to August 2024. Although it was originally made for Texas organizations, we invite organizations everywhere to view our courses.
Senior Administrative Program Coordinator Jessi Davis and Research Associate Juli Earley from the Texas Institute for Excellence in Mental Health (TIEMH) were passionate about coordinating this project and engaging with peer professionals.
POGA’s purpose was to enhance the knowledge and connections of peer-run organizations to facilitate the development of their organizational capacity to support growth and long-term sustainability.
Check out the POGA site to learn more about the program’s goals, curriculum, trainers, and more!
