Several years ago, I posted an article featuring this graphic to show what universities could be doing to build a pipeline of new leaders into the youth development program sector as staff and leaders, and as people who proactively support such programs with their time, talent and dollars.
If this were happening, it would be a Tipping Point.
Today I read a new blog article by Vu Le, titled "Donor engagement and the retail-ification of equity and justice". Everything he says resonates with my own experiences.
I have a link to his blog in a sub-section of the Tutor/Mentor library that focuses on "Challenges Facing NPOs".
His articles, and the rest of the resources I point to should be part of any curriculum developed as a Tipping Point for reimagining how nonprofit and social benefit organizations are funded.
I hope you'll read these and share them in your networks.
NOTE. While my goal is to create a pipeline of new leaders, and new donors, for tutor, mentor, youth development and workforce development programs that reach K-12 youth in every high poverty zip code, this same model could be adopted to fix America's broken education system, and the widening gap between rich and poor, white and colored, urban and rural. It's a long term strategy but needs a beginning.
