Troop 149 in Missouri serves as a cautionary tale for the importance of adult volunteer leader training in scouting. The Girl Scouts of the USA and Boy Scouts of America have detailed guidelines for appropriate money-earning projects, including the use of logos and intellectual property. While we may not always agree with organizational rules, they exist for a reason. Disbanding the troop seems like a missed opportunity for the young people involved to learn from the experience and continue their scouting journey. Let's work to ensure that all scouting volunteers receive the necessary training to avoid similar situations and keep the focus on youth development. #Scouting #YouthDevelopment #VolunteerLeadership

Excel Urgent Care of Howard Beach is honored and proud to be a sponsor of the American Softball program! being a part of our local community is one of the forefronts of our urgent care. We recognize that we all play an important part in what community means, stands for, and represents. Thank you to the American Softball program and thank you for such a lovely plaque. We are proudly displaying it in our urgent care along our Wall of Champions for everyone to see! The American Softball program is an organization for everyone. The American Softball League is a Special Needs Program for Autism and Developmental Disabilities. The players get together once a week to a fun, non-competitive social environment. "The world can be a better place" A little bit about their program: While some people may think their challenges might inhibit them from playing a sport they dreamed of, we prove to them that they can do it and make their dream of playing softball a reality. Every single player gets a chance to hit the ball, run around the bases, and play the field. Before every game, “The Pledge of Allegiance” is recited and then the team sings “The Star Spangled Banner” which inspires the players. The American Softball Organization is dedicated to helping people reach their full potential; mentally, socially and physically. It helps people to increase their social skills while allowing them a chance to play America’s greatest sport. #community #local #smallbusiness #localbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #community #support #nonprofit #volunteer #education #americansoftball #sponsor

Excellent, transparent narrative here. So much truth-which is unfortunate Read until the end where the author, Chanda C. offers their five tips on discerning what leadsrs are walking into. "A New Form of White Flight Leadership transitions are challenging in any organization, regardless of racial dynamics. But when leaders of color are tasked with fixing these problems, they are too often left with little to no cash (nor significant funder relationships) to help them do it. Research from the Building Movement Project’s Race to Lead initiative found that 63 percent of POC leaders cite a lack of access to individual donors as a fundraising challenge, compared to 49 percent of white leaders who say this is a challenge. Similarly, 51 percent of POC leaders cite lack of access to foundations as a challenge compared to 41 percent of white leaders. "In practice, this makes nonprofit executives of color more like “the help” than the leaders they could be."
