This past year, my co-site-leader and I planned and lead eighteen other students on a week-long, service-learning trip to Indianapolis focusing on the issue of public health. Our group served the community for forty hours through seven different organizations in the community ranging from Gleaners Food Bank to the Julian Center, a center for victims of domestic violence. Through reflection and service, the interconnected network of social injustices soon became apparent in our discussion of public health as a major social justice focus. Through our discussions, we realized that we are capable of extending ourselves into the local community and making a significant difference. For me, leadership is not solely measured by the immediate outcome or a visible change; leadership should help others realize the untapped potentials within themselves. This goal was achieved in our lengthy service reflections in

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

Groups of people who work together make a difference, whether they are many or few. Because of their contribution to make a difference, they are the ones that create a huge impact on peoples' lives.

Transformation can be almost impossible unless the majority of people within the organisation are involved and willing to help.(Cengage Learning AUS, 2015)

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

Just like I am better able to serve the Head Start families due to my educational background on the inner workings of poverty; learning about the inner workings of non-profits will qualify me as a leader who can effect change on a larger scale within ABCD. I want to attend this program to learn the detailed, complex elements and skills that are necessary to form the big picture that is human services management. New knowledge of management and finance will make me a multifaceted asset to

David Frock continually strives to make an substantial impact on local, national, and global communities.

The Organizational Leadership and Wellness (OWL) program assists in helping students formulate and effectively accomplish the visions they have for their communities. The program consists of grant writing education, provides knowledgeable community leaders as mentors, and emphasizes the importance of overall wellness. Within the OWL program, David Frock conveyed his ability to ignite the confidence of students concerning the impact they have on their communities inside and outside of their college experience.

This course covered many important topics helpful in understanding learning organizations. This paper will incorporate real-life situations from my organization, The American Red Cross. It will focus on three areas I found to be most helpful and relevant to my experience which is the understanding of systems thinking, growth, and the need to practice reflection.

During my high school career, I have become highly involved in a program we call People Helping People (PHP). This organization’s main priority is to interest students in benefiting their communities and the members in it. PHP consists of many projects from student mentoring, to volunteering at the local shelters; however, the project that has had the greatest impact on my life and personal growth is known as “Project Unify”.

In sum, women’s leadership in the nonprofit sector has provided a pathway into leadership in the public and private spheres. Though the gender gap is shrinking in nonprofit employment and wages gender disparity remains in terms of size and types of NPO with women in executive positions. In retrospect Sheryl Sandberg Chief Operating Officer of Facebook mentions that “lack of female leadership isn’t just a problem in the nonprofit sector—women are not making it to the top of any profession, anywhere in the world”. According to studies by the American Association of University Women, women are paid less than men in female-dominated, gender-balanced and male-dominated occupations. The nonprofit sector just happens to fall under the female-dominated
