Young nonprofit professionals—we see you.
You work tirelessly every day to create a more just and equitable
world, swinging long hours and then managing volunteer gigs on the
side.
You’re driven and ambitious... but unlike some of your peers,
YOU’RE putting your skills towards the common good by taking ACTION.
You're helping people experiencing homelessness, campaigning for human
rights, researching policy and coming up with innovative solutions to
ancient problems, or creating engaging art that enriches communities.
You aren’t just talking about making a better tomorrow_—_you’re
working every day to shape the world we all live in.
And boy, does the world need you. Work for social good is under attack
from all sides. Nonprofits are trying to build the plane while flying
it, fighting for funding while challenging inequity, incivility, and
inaction. It’s an uphill battle, but it’s one we can win.
But here’s the thing: _the only way we win this fight is together_.
It took a long time to build up the systems of inequality we have
inherited and CHANGE WON’t happen overnight. And it won’t happen
at all if we're working in silos. If we want to bridge the divides
between us, we have to get to know each other. We have to learn from
each other’s mistakes, listen to the voices that haven’t been
heard, and lift each other up.
Which is what we do at the YNPN NATIONAL CONFERENCE AND LEADERS
INSTITUTE, presented by INDIANA UNIVERSITY LILLY FAMILY SCHOOL OF
PHILANTHROPY [https://philanthropy.iupui.edu/]. Join us in
INDIANAPOLIS on JULY 27-30, 2018, where we give you the space you need
to celebrate the movement’s wins and mourn the losses. To provide
you with transformative training experiences that will get you from
here to there. And to connect you with other people who, like you, see
a better tomorrow and aren’t afraid to work for it.
What matters most to you? What will move your work forward? You’ll
get to choose from two programmatic tracks designed just for our
attendees: * EQUITY IN A CHANGING WORLD: Learn the multitude of
ways inequity is manifested personally, in your community, and across
society. Programming will feature causes and histories of inequity,
emerging research on tangible ways to improve the sector, and concrete
skills to bring equitable practices into your daily work and your
organization.
*
TAKING ACTION FOR CHANGE: Discover how to advocate for social change,
your organization’s mission, and yourself in your daily work.
Programming will feature grassroots organizing, formal lobbying
restrictions, and how you are your own best advocate in career
planning and personal growth.
