Fulcrum Practice Lab
the craft of effective technical assistance
“Give me a place to stand, a lever long enough, and a fulcrum, and I can move the earth.” ~Archimedes
Technical assistance is your lever in capacity building.
To use that lever well, you need a place to stand—your values and subject matter expertise—and a fulcrum—your TA skills and techniques.
Fulcrum Practice Lab is a professional learning hub for technical assistance providers and capacity builders who want to strengthen their TA craft.
Fulcrum Practice Lab helps practitioners learn, practice, and refine the skills and techniques that make technical assistance effective—regardless of their particular subject matter area. The focus is not on what you know, but on how you use your knowledge to support others, build capacity, facilitate learning, and create meaningful change.
Through online learning, small-group learning labs, and individual mentoring, Fulcrum Practice Lab provides practical opportunities to develop the distinct competencies of technical assistance provision.
Whether you work in human services, public health, education, housing, community development, or other field, Fulcrum Practice Lab can help you become a more intentional, skilled, and effective technical assistance provider.
