THANK YOU to Our Outgoing Steering Committee for 5 Years of Leading EDGE!

In our effort to address this disconnect, these committee members jumped in to play a critical role in designing and fine-tuning program processes and offerings, from events to mentorship to employer relations. As a result, Leading EDGE grew in numbers and impact with:

Our Steering Committee demonstrated the exceptional value of volunteers and their ability to make a difference. They asked the right questions, set goals and trackable metrics, identified areas of improvement, and most importantly, believed in us when we most needed it. As we enter the next chapter of the Leading EDGE program and watch many of our Steering Committee members go on to other things, we can’t say “THANK YOU” enough to this incredible team of volunteers for being our cheerleaders when we needed motivation, our eyes and ears that kept us on the pulse of what’s happening today, and the hands and feet on the ground when things needed to get done.

Thank You & Job Well-Done!

More work needs to be done!
Leading EDGE goes beyond a single placement. By paying interns fairly, removing financial and social barriers to entry, and surrounding students with mentorship, professional development, and a network of peers and sector leaders, the program creates a lasting pathway into nonprofit careers. In doing so, Leading EDGE strengthens the sector’s talent pipeline and helps build a nonprofit workforce that reflects the communities it serves.

You and your organization are invited to join us in our continued efforts to usher in the next generation of nonprofit sector professionals. Become an employer host or contact Shelby Truxon to ask about our volunteer opportunities.
