The elements of a board as a defining factor in the self-governance character of a nonprofit is affirmed by Worth (2014). For example, the “control of the nonprofit lies with a board of directors…who have overall responsibility to [care for and oversee] the organization” (Worth, 2014, p. 57). Big Brothers Big Sisters exemplifies volunteerism in both its history and present service practices. For example, the organization currently utilizes “400,000 volunteer mentors and families” (Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, 2016a, para. 3) to work with youth and facilitate the organizations critical programs and relationships (Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, 2016a). Big Brothers Big Sisters history is also reflective of volunteerism is critical role. To illustrate, in 1904 Ernest Coulter founded the Big Brothers movement with 39 volunteers, who each agree to befriend and mentor an individual youth (Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, 2016a). The statistical data from Big Brothers Big Sisters reveals that the organization have a tremendous impact on community individuals and therefore provides a public benefit through

The diversity of nonprofit organizations, services provided and the problems faced shows that nonprofits require leadership with an in-depth understanding of the multifaceted nonprofit landscape. Understanding the culture of nonprofit work is also crucial and much easier to understand once you have been through a nonprofit management program. My career interests lead me towards an avocation of a deeper knowledge of strategic management/planning, legal structure and standards, increase my skills in quantitative analysis of policy, financial governance and developing fundraising strategies. These areas allow for macro management within the nonprofit

Leading this group of girls requires me to be a positive influence on their lives; I must conduct myself in the highest manner as to reflect this positive behavior on them. This group has also taught me the importance of community and having a support system. Witnessing the relationships being formed and growing stronger between the girls and myself and the girls amongst themselves has taught me that everyone needs someone to support them. During every person’s life, at one point or another, a tough circumstance has surfaced and when hope seems lost and they are in need of an inspiration to move forward. I stand to be that inspiration and strive to demonstrate to the girls how to be that inspiration for others around them and spread hope and positivity.

The nonprofit sector in America is a reflection some of the foundational values that brought our nation into existence. Fundamentals, such as the idea that people can govern themselves and the belief that people should have the opportunity to make a difference by joining a like-minded group, have made America and its nonprofit sector what it is today. The American "civil society" is one that has been produced through generations of experiments with government policy, nonprofit organizations, private partnerships, and individuals who have asserted ideas and values. The future of the nonprofit sector will continue to be experimental in many ways. However, the increase of professional studies in nonprofit management and the greater

Since I first delved into community service two years ago, I have not only found a passion for helping others, but also a sense of belonging. After my freshman year of highschool, I was lacking direction. I had no idea what I wanted to involve myself in, but I knew I wanted to start something to help people. Therefore, my friends and I created our own charity, The Pink Bowz. Since 2015, I have worked in my community to expand this organization which helps women battling breast cancer. The Pink Bowz has since completed approximately 200 hours of community service and donated over $5000 to five women in the Hampstead - Wilmington area. Through this experience I found a passion for the fundraising process. I campaigned at my school to start a

Over the past few weeks, I have been observing an all-girl organization by the name of EAGER Inc. I observed middle-school aged girls in Baltimore City Charter Schools. The girls have been working together for about one to two years. They interact with one another on a daily basis, and sometimes after school for programs. The groups needs came to the agency's attention through the principal of the school who noticed that the girls needed behavioral assistance. This group of girls need mentors and the appropriate guidance that will help them transform into successful young women and people who can help keep them out of trouble. The group barely got along with each other, and they always bumped heads during the sessions. The girls realized that

Let’s help give back to nonprofit organizations!! Nonprofit, also called not-for-profit corporations, do not supply their own money. Nonprofit corporations are created according to state law. They must file a statement of corporate purpose with the Secretary of State, pay a fee, create articles of incorporation, conduct regular meetings, and fulfill other obligations to achieve and maintain corporate status. Different things go into running a nonprofit organization. The leader of the organization needs to make sure that all requirements needed to run a nonprofit organization are met, also dealing with outside contributors . Contributors play a big part in a nonprofit organization. There are multiple options involving funding a nonprofit organization. They can get funding for multiple reasons and in multiple ways; for example, sponsorship, corporate giving, grant funding, donations, and fundraising are ways to fund a nonprofit organization.

My time so far at Kidzu Children’s Museum in Chapel Hill has been incredibly eventful and eye-opening. As someone who has never worked directly with a nonprofit before, being immersed in one as successful as Kidzu has definitely started to shape my understanding of how the nonprofit sector works and the individual challenges typically associated with it. Although I feel like I have already learned so much just after a few short weeks, I hope to continue learning throughout the course of the semester. Among the concepts I want to learn more about during my internship with Kidzu include how nonprofits can help alleviate poverty and inequality, how nonprofits can utilize community resources to make a collective impact, and the issues nonprofits

The most successful organizations, the ones that demonstrate a strong competitive lead over their peers, are not just firms striving for higher profits. Some nonprofits take a lead in addressing problems faced by society. They know what they are supposed to be doing for whom. They go at it single-mindedly.

Women. Men. They are both a unique and special being that is on earth. In a perfect society, men and women would have the same physical strength and they would be completely equal. The idea of women and men being able to play against each other is wonderful but realistically it might not work out as great. Of course, women can do anything men can do, but in a competitive situation like this, the results of this change could bring forth more negative impacts than positive ones. In professional sports, women and men should be kept separate due to being biologically different and because of the possibility of the quality of the performances in the sports decreasing.
