Executive Director of GOOD TO BE GOOD, Social Entrepreneur, Intersectional Gender Equity Advocate, Community Builder, Friend
Investing in women and gender-diverse people is something we actively do every day at GOOD TO BE GOOD. Not only is it our nonprofit mandate, but we also believe it is a vital long-term solution that benefits everyone. (We’re all interconnected!) Thanks to the support and allyship from partners like Co-operators, one of the ways we invest in our priority communities is by promoting experiences and spaces for them to engage in economic capacity building. With efforts like our “Change Make-Her program,” we know that when women and gender-diverse people with intersecting identities have access to inclusive training, mentorship, opportunities, and supports, they are empowered to build the thriving lives they deserve. It’s not rocket science: invest in all women, invest in our collective liberation.
Happy #IWD2024! This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #InspireInclusion. We’re proud to highlight our incredible partner, GOOD TO BE GOOD (GTBG), a women-led nonprofit that supports and empowers women and gender-diverse individuals in underserved communities through programming and grass-roots services. We sat down with GTBG Board Member, Tenika Bennett, and GTBG Manager of Care Support Services, Lindsay Van Dekerkhove, to chat about their Change Make-Her program and how GTBG inspires inclusion year-round.

Rita Sever works with select nonprofits to train supervisors to work in a partnership model that supports #inclusion. She visits the SnapCast to talk about Hidden Rules in Nonprofits Undermine Inclusion Efforts. Among the things we discuss: * When you talk about inclusion, why does it matter? * Who is most often not included? * What are hidden rules and how do they function? * Who benefits from these hidden rules? * How do hidden rules show up in nonprofits? * How can you recognize hidden rules? Where should we look? * Then what? What are you supposed to do when you find a hidden rule? #nonprofitleadership #diversity #dei

Helping nonprofit leaders to save the world by curating a Board of Directors that will drive impact, financial stability, and long-term sustainability
Many nonprofits exist to improve the lives of women, children and other disadvantaged groups. For me, this is exactly why it's so important to have women at the table where decisions are being made. Similarly, having a board that includes at least some representation of the people the organization serves can be really powerful. At Athena, I work with nonprofits of varying sizes - rather than entering into a binary gender debate, I believe we need to focus on fostering collaboration and inclusivity to drive meaningful change. So how do we empower more women to ascend the career ladder to executive roles in larger nonprofits, while encouraging men to address the issues affecting their direct communities?

#GivingTuesday is about so much more than financial transactions. It's about transformation! U.S. nonprofits dedicated to women and girls consistently receive less than 2% of giving. Today, rewrite that narrative and help us ensure more girls throughout our community have access to our one-of-a-kind program. Girls on the Run stands apart from the rest through our intentional research-based curriculum, highly trained coaches, and a strong commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity, and access. Give today and help us maintain our mission! https://lnkd.in/gv9A5FX5

@18:46 on this video my son shares about the support provided by Bridge Communities, I also want to thank Judy Hsu for your beautiful words. This was an event held by Bridge Communities, the program that provided hope for my children and I, we are so thankful for their support. Housing insecurities hit more people than you may realize. This is why my home based baking business donates yearly to this program. We understand first hand what the struggle of being homeless feels like, not having a home to call your own takes a toll on the whole family.

Empowering change: The impact of volunteerism in women's leadership Embracing volunteerism isn't just about giving time; it's about igniting change. As women actively engage in volunteer activities, they become agents of transformation. An empowered woman becomes a cornerstone of success, catalyzing progress in society. Here's why volunteerism matters: Economic empowerment: By volunteering, individuals not only contribute to their communities but also gain valuable skills and experiences that enhance their economic standing. Building resilience: Volunteerism fosters resilience by instilling a sense of purpose and connection within communities, helping them withstand challenges and bounce back stronger. Unlocking potential: Each act of volunteerism unlocks untapped potential, both in the individual volunteering and in the communities they serve, leading to personal and collective growth. Countering illiteracy: Through volunteer efforts, awareness and resources are channeled towards educational initiatives, combating illiteracy and expanding opportunities for learning. Awareness and advocacy: Volunteerism serves as a powerful platform for raising awareness and advocating for causes, amplifying voices and driving positive change. Access to resources: Volunteer networks provide valuable access to resources, support systems and opportunities, empowering individuals to overcome barriers and thrive. Embrace volunteerism as a catalyst for change and together, let's drive towards a brighter, more empowered future. #economicempowerment #volunteerimpact #resiliencebuilding #communityunity #educationforall #literacymatters #volunteervoice #advocacymatters #volunteerism #empowerment #socialimpact
