If you are new to the nonprofit sector or looking to expand your expertise, there’s a new must-read resource. Darian Rodriguez Heyman, former Executive Director of Craigslist Foundation, brought together 50 of the sector’s leading experts to create the newly released, Nonprofit Management 101. This comprehensive, incredibly useful how-to manual and resource guide features practical insights and tips, and provides easy to implement solutions for organizations seeking to meet mission and maximize impact. Think of it as your compass for the social sector.

 Everything you need to launch, lead, and effectively grow your nonprofit is in this landmark publication. The field guide covers the spectrum of social sector management issues, including individual, corporate, and foundation fundraising, earned income, social media, marketing, PR, events, board and volunteer engagement, lobbying and advocacy, and more.

This fall, friends and supporters in four cities opened their homes to host fundraising house parties for YES!. House parties are an intimate opportunity to connect with activists and community leaders in your area, to hear from YES! alumni, and to learn about the work that YES! and our alumni are doing around the globe. They can also serve as mini-reunions in places where our alumni come out to reconnect and support our continued work. Here at YES! we have the incredible privilege of being inspired by the amazing work of young people all over the world, and at each house party we meet more bold changemakers who are so full of heart.

YES! NAMED RECIPIENT OF NATURE’S PATH

2009 ENVIROKIDZ GIVING BACK AWARD

Funds Will Support Global Leadership Jams

September 24, 2009 – YES! has announced it was named a recipient of Nature’s Path Organic Foods’ 2009 EnviroKidz Giving Back Award.  The Giving Back Program donates money to non-profit organizations, such as YES! that support efforts with young leaders working for endangered species, habitat conservation and environmental education.

“We are thrilled to be recognized with the 2009 EnviroKidz Giving Back Award,” said Nga Trinh-Halperin, Development Manager of YES!, “The funds will help us continue the work we are doing to support, connect and collaborate with young visionaries of organizations and movements around the world.”

We're working on a redesign plan for our website, and we're on the lookout for an amazing, values-aligned someone to partner with us on this project. If you'd like to peep the project details, or if you have someone to recommend, let me know at julie@yesworld.org.

In this fast-paced world, activists and changemakers often seek to be out of reaction mode, and to move from a deeper, more grounded place.  YES! helps to make that happen for thousands of young leaders and now we have the opportunity for a community-wide experience.  We invite you to join in creating a brighter future through internal, interpersonal and systemic transformation, by being part of our Do-It-Yourself "Sit For Change".  It's a day for you to practice self-awareness (designed around 108 minutes) while supporting the work of YES! and our program partner, Center for Transformative Change, CXC.

All proceeds raised by YES! will be divided with CXC which shares our commitment to personal growth, meaningful collaboration, and making a difference.  The DIY "Sit for Change" is a beautiful manifestation of these commitments we hold.  We hope you will register today; whether it be a party of one or in concert with more folks, you get to choose.  Whatever shape or form, sitting, yoga or walking meditation or other contemplative activity, get your friends and family to (participate and/or) sponsor your experience!

Want a more simple way to be engaged in YES!
