14 Strategies For Creating An Effective Nonprofit Internship Program Nonprofit organizations often face the challenge of advancing their mission while operating with limited resources. A well-crafted internship program, specifically tailored for nonprofit settings, can bridge this gap, improving both the organization's capabilities and the interns’ professional development. However, developing such a program requires a deliberate approach. Forbes Nonprofit Council members explore how nonprofits can thoughtfully design internship programs to transform enthusiastic learners into key contributors. They discuss strategies for achieving organizational goals while simultaneously providing interns with real-world skills and valuable experience within the sector. #14 Build A Pipeline Of Talent We utilize programs for high school students who can progress to varying levels of leadership from year to year. Upon graduation, many want to continue their involvement by applying for coordinator positions, so we have junior and senior positions in three critical areas. The pipeline maintains the core values of the organization while also preserving institutional knowledge. - Aaron Alejandro, Texas FFA Foundation #leadershipdevelopment #agriculture #education #stem #FFATODAY #mytexasffa https://lnkd.in/gvK5qhv7 Aaron Alejandro Texas FFA Foundation Forbes Nonprofit Council Forbes Forbes Councils

How To Boost Your Personal Visibility The aim of visibility is not to seek attention but to attract opportunities - Kwasi York. When one becomes visible, it enhances the person’s chances of attracting opportunities. One can boost his or her visibility by: Attending conferences and events. When one attends these programs it opens doors for one to meet new people to interact with them and share ideas. Networking: One can leverage on professional and personal networks. One can accept internships and volunteering roles to boost his/ her visibility. Taking leadership roles: Taking leadership roles at schools, churches and workplaces increases one’s chances of standing out from the audience. Creating a strong online presence: Creating a strong online presence on platforms like LinkedIn to showcase your capabilities, skills and achievements enhances one’s visibility. Giving back to society: When one gives back to the society by donating to the less privileged in the society, or setting up foundations to empower people, it heightens one’s visibility. How are you boosting your personal visibility? #personalbranding #visibility #opportunities Follow Benedicta A. Cudjoe

Revitalizing Businesses Through Community Support: A Success Story I'm thrilled to share a recent success story that demonstrates the power of community in business revival! Recently, I had the privilege of collaborating with a local small business that was on the verge of closing its doors. Through strategic planning and community engagement initiatives, we not only saved the business but also created jobs and strengthened community ties. It's a testament to what we can achieve when we work together! Here are three actionable steps you can take to enhance your business's community impact: 1. Identify local organizations and causes that align with your business values and collaborate on projects. 2. Engage with local schools and offer internships or mentorship programs. 3. Host community events to build stronger relationships with your local customer base. This experience has reinforced my commitment to fostering local business growth and development. It's not just about profits; it's about creating a thriving ecosystem where businesses and communities support each other. Remember, your business is part of a larger community fabric. By investing in your community, you're investing in your own success. Let's continue to build stronger, more resilient local economies together! What community initiatives has your business been involved in? I'd love to hear your stories and ideas in the comments below! #CommunitySupport #SmallBusinessSuccess #LocalEconomyGrowth #BusinessRevitalization

💕Loving the relationships we have nurtured in our #community. Partnering with charitable organizations year-round, translates to enduring, reciprocal bonds. 💡Often, we exchange the most amazing ideas, connections and resources! Team ClearVision Optical extends outreach to include so many #universities🎓 and governmental groups. 👩🔬We conduct #innovative research, develop training programs, host #internships, participate in designing curriculum and support future leaders. 🐝Interestingly, when networks cross-pollinate and fascinating people are introduced, the most amazing😁 things can happen. We give back as part of our company #values and in pursuit of our #mission, To Make Each Day Better for Someone else. 🤯What may be less obvious is the tremendous sharing of #creativity, particularly among like-minded organizations. 🔮Curious learners unite at CVO and via training grants, we have designed countless workshops to ready us for the workplace of tomorrow. We have made great new friends🤝 from these endeavors! 🧦Notably, we became acquainted with Mark X. Cronin from John's Crazy Socks, after learning that they too operate with #purpose-driven 💗leadership. 🏣John and his team had a blast during our work home #culture tour. 😎Turns out he knows how to make magic in our #eyewear Distribution Center and our crew adored dancing with him. 🕶️So excited to debut a collaboration #sunglass sock that is sure to knock our team’s socks off! We are already passing ideas, best practices and contacts because that is what friends do. We also introduced them to our buddies at the Small Giants Community. Extreme fun hosted by Alyssa, Madalyn, Bruny, Seth and looking forward to introducing David, peter, Stephen, Galaxina, Barbara, Ecco, Theresa and many others. #BestCompanyToWork #CommunityConnections #CuriousLearners #PurposeDrivenLeadership #CultureTour #EyewearMagic #CollaborationCelebration #BestPracticesExchange #SmallGiantsCommunity #TeamAppreciation

Your alumni can offer you more than donations. Here’s the hard truth: 90% didn’t care about fundraising as students. 90% don’t care about fundraising as alumni. But what DO they take away from their time at school? Memories. Experiences. Growth and Development. Career Counselling. Internships. The list goes on… And wouldn't it be insightful to understand how these programs impacted your alumni? What do they cherish and what do they feel could be improved? These insights are not just valuable; they are essential to improve your institution. This approach will enrich your community and foster a meaningful connection with your alumni. How is your organization engaging its alumni?
