“I’ll just do it for 12 months,” I told myself. “And I’ll use that time to figure out what I really want for a career.” In August 2001, as a newly-minted college grad, I joined AmeriCorps. I landed in Orange County to spend a service year as a residential counselor with Boys Hope Girls Hope of Southern California. That year changed my life. I learned and felt so much from the girls I lived with and “parented” at Girls Hope. So much so, that I decided that mission-driven work would be my career. I spent 6 years in the nonprofit sector in Southern California and learned a TON. Then I went corporate, moving over to PIMCO to launch a global employee volunteer program and lead the PIMCO Foundation. During my 11+ years at PIMCO, I again learned a TON. These learning experiences enabled me to build Mission Up Consulting, where I shape CSR initiatives and community activation efforts that foster connection. I love consulting with philanthropic companies, corporate foundations, and community initiatives now. But my time with AmeriCorps was the catalyst for it all. Little did I know that my service year would make all the difference in my life. (And if I could get on my soapbox for a moment, I wish ALL colleges and universities would promote a service year much more than they do currently!) What's made the difference for you in your career? #volunteerism #corporategiving #CSR #socialimpact

A recent client is aiming for a managerial role. “I don’t have leadership experience. Do I have a shot?”, she fretted. Digging into her past, my team discovered something impressive. She had led 500+ fellow volunteers in a youth mentorship program across Latin America for 3 years. Her volunteering doesn’t only show her altruistic side. It also signals to potential employers her initiative and teamwork in diverse settings. Here’s a prime example of how volunteering can bridge skill gaps for your target role. In my case, after volunteering as a teacher in underserved communities, I learned how to coach people to their full potential. This most crucial skill defines my career to this day. If you are changing roles soon, consider strategically engaging in volunteer opportunities. Aside from the rewarding feeling you get, it can set you up for your next chapter. #CareerDevelopment #Volunteering #Resume #ResumeWriting #JobSearch

A heartfelt thank you to My HR Pros, Fort Smith Regional Alliance, and City of Van Buren, Arkansas for supporting my participation in Community Development Institute (CDI) Central this week! I wanted to share 10 of the most impactful things I learned in Year 1: 1. A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader. A great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves! 2. People don’t want to work where they don’t want to live. 3. Everyone has a voice and everyone has a role in their community.  4. Collaborative problem solving + respectful dialogue + diversity of opinion = transformative change  5. Data gives your story strength.  6. Your downtown is what your community thinks of itself. 7. 3 critical, often missed steps in volunteer management: increase responsibilities and growth opportunities, recognition and celebration, and exiting volunteers gracefully.  8. If my community is above average I can expect to live above the average lifespan. 9. Every leader needs to know 5 good things about their community. 10. What can you repurpose in your community to give you an advantage? Our keynote speaker was from the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute! She shared that moving to Petit Jean was the sunrise of Rockefeller’s dreams. I relate to that so much! I strongly encourage every community leader to consider participating in CDI. If you have any questions about the nationwide program, please let me know!

This article got me thinking about the value of genuine connections over formal exteriors, an underlying theme being that authenticity shouldn't be tucked away during 9-5. With Gen Z entering the workforce, nonprofits face so many opportunities. This generation's approach to careers offers insights into creating a more inclusive, balanced, and mission-driven workplace. I'd like more conversations exploring and redefining what it means to have a fulfilling career in service. Here's to creating environments were ideas flow as freely as casual Friday vibes, every day. Gen Z Is Open to Nonprofit Careers — but on Their Own Terms (philanthropy.com)
