A huge part of an effective Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy is developing an inclusive, supportive culture among your staff and board. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, nonprofit executive Brenda Jimenez joins us (for the second time!) to offer her advice for hiring and retaining awesome team members. We also talk about how to attract the right type of candidates so you don’t make a bad hire, and how to promote an inclusive culture.
Developing Nonprofit Internships That are Fair for Everyone
This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, the founder and director of Learning Life shares his experiences developing an internship program, including the way he manages his Summer 2020 interns remotely in the wake of COVID-19. We also talk about how to make internships fair for both parties, especially if you want to open up your internship to candidates who don’t have the luxury of being able to afford to take a full-time unpaid position.
Nontraditional Volunteers
In this episode for Season 3 Episode 2, we're talking about nontraditional volunteers! Many nonprofits struggle to recruit high quality volunteers and to retain them for longer than a year--but maybe it's because we're looking for volunteers in the wrong places. This week, hear from Sharie Loik at Meals on Wheels and Sabrina Schoenborn from The Girl Narrative about how they activate nontraditional volunteers at their organizations.
