During the Fall semester, our Volunteer and Community Engagement class (PAD 622) continued working on collaborative efforts involving NKU Graduate Education and Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati. Students in this class worked with THREE nonprofit organizations on NINE service-learning projects: Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati: 1) new board member orientation handbook with updated forms; and 2) board member survey, analyses, and recommendations related board engagement. MUSE, Cincinnati's Women's Choir: 1) virtual information session for prospective volunteers; 2) draft volunteer position descriptions and recruitment ideas; 3) new volunteer handbook; and 4) suggested updates and adjustments to the existing member handbook.

Paid internships are foundational to providing career opportunities for young people who cannot afford to work for free. I love that this is focused on nonprofits and community organizations that don’t have resources for paid internships in their budgets. This is how we invest in the next generation of leaders. #PaidInternships #NonprofitLeadership #CommunityInvestment

Felt Education and UNIS Join Forces to Empower Students through Meaningful Internships in Trauma-Informed Education [New York, April] – Felt Education, a leading non-profit offering innovative educational opportunities to refugees and survivors of war, trafficking and torture, is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with the United Nations International School (UNIS). Together, they are changing the educational landscape by offering students the opportunity to engage in transformative internships as classroom assistants and social media advocates. These semester-long experiences are designed to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities while making a positive impact on communities in need. One of the distinguishing features of this partnership is the emphasis on trauma-informed education. Interns will receive comprehensive training in trauma-informed practices, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to support vulnerable populations effectively. Partnered with experienced teachers, interns will assist in teaching English to online classes comprised of refugees, survivors of war, torture, and trafficking. "We are incredibly excited about this partnership with UNIS," said Caroline McKinnon, Chief Executive Officer at Felt Education. "By providing students with the opportunity to engage in meaningful internships, we are not only enhancing their educational experience but also empowering them to make a real difference in the lives of others. Through trauma-informed training and hands-on experience, interns will gain invaluable skills and insights that will serve them well in their future endeavors." Interns participating in this program will not only accrue volunteer hours but will also receive a certificate in the basics of trauma-informed education upon completion. This certificate will signify their commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of individuals who have experienced trauma, further enhancing their credentials and employability. The Felt Education-UNIS partnership represents a powerful collaboration between two organizations committed to making a difference in the world. Through hands-on learning experiences and trauma-informed training, students will emerge from this program with the skills, knowledge, and empathy needed to be effective leaders and advocates for positive change.

🗣 Calling University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business MBA Class of 2025!! How do you aim to support social impact causes while at school and focusing on your career? 🤔 Most will volunteer or donate to causes they care about. Some others forego the traditional MBA career path and instead decide to pursue jobs that focus on social impact. 🤑🤑🤑 On average, interns for Investment Banking and Consulting make over $750 per day. 💸💸💸 In contrast, the average recipient of Business+Impact at Michigan Ross internship funding receives less than 1/4th of these salaries. The Give-A-Day Fund is a longstanding Ross tradition recognized by the University of Michigan for its innovation of encouraging peer to peer philanthropy. Any level of donation helps stretch their funds as much as possible to support more students. As a student-led fundraising initiative that is gearing up for its 14th year supporting our MBA peers engaged in low paying/unpaid social impact internships, please spread the word to other classmates however you can! 🙏🏼 Help create a more equitable experience for future classmates by donating one day of your summer salary, or by sponsoring one day of somebody else’s ---> https://l.ead.me/gadf2024 (P.S. Stay tuned for a special opportunity to help spread the GADF word AND have a chance to get some freebies 👀)

I had a fantastic time participating in Pathways to Success and discussing career options with sixth-formers! 😁 📈 Pathways to Success is Making The Leap's new pilot programme supporting sixth-form students in West London to access alternative post-18 career pathways. The programme is funded by The Mercers’ Charitable Foundation, for which the Mercers Company is a Corporate Trustee. Having completed a Law degree and Finance apprenticeship, I showed students that everyone's path to their career can be different. There is no conventional pathway to every career path. Remember, there's more to your future than conventional paths. Explore diverse careers, think outside the box, and find what excites you. From university, apprenticeships and internships leading you to unique industries; the possibilities are endless. Embrace the journey, and don't be afraid to pave your own way! 🎇 😁 #PathwaysForSuccess #MakingTheLeap #ApprenticeshipsWeek #CareerDevelopment
