Hard Conversations About Race and Equity With Your Staff and Supporters (Part 2)
This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, listen to the second part of Jenni’s interview with thought leader and advocate Jon Royal about how to bring up the topic of equity and race with your nonprofit’s leadership team.

Hard Conversations About Race and Equity With Your Staff and Supporters (Part 1)
Ongoing events like the spread of COVID-19 and #BlackLivesMatter have recently made inequities in our healthcare, educational, correctional, and other systems more obvious on a national level. Fortunately, we’ve seen many nonprofits revisit their Diversity / Equity / Inclusion (DEI) policies (or build completely new ones from scratch) as a result. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, Jenni speaks again with thought leader and advocate Jon Royal to discuss an example of how your nonprofit can promote equity and racial justice in your community. This episode is Part 1 of 2 -- look for Part 2 next week!
I’m Not Interested in Equality Because Equality Isn’t Good Enough

Tips for Training and Empowering Youth Leaders
Have you ever heard a program described as “For Women, By Women” or “For Veterans, By Veterans” or “For (a group of people), By (a group of people)”? Nonprofit leaders usually recognize the need to empower various adult populations to support themselves instead of simply prescribing solutions, but it’s easy to forget that youth can also be empowered to creatively solve problems and manage programs. In the latest episode of the Nonprofit Jenni Show, we talk with nonprofit leaders who help youth unlock their potential to create meaningful change, and help adults get out of the way!
