Dr. Gina Warren, along with a committed team of volunteers and staff have embarked on a journey to change their childhood community with an innovative approach through education. Working to break the intergenerational trauma that has left families in poverty, homeless, incarcerated and under-educated, Neighborhood Wellness is breaking that cycle of trauma with neighborhood Navigators, many with 20,30, even 40 years of familiarity in the Del Paso Heights community. Working to develop and prepare high school students for college, vocational schooling or work, the education and awareness of opportunity and process is oriented from the inside out and bottom up. Families learn from each other how to best change for the better and begin to accept a life of experiences once thought unobtainable. Programs like "Sister to Sister" and "SHE Program" have allowed young women to be mentored and learn a different way of life. Creating personal worth and value is at the core of the educational process that is causing a cultural shift in the community.

This episode is a departure from our support of cancelled events for non-profits rescheduling virtually. This is quite the opposite in that it's something this non-profit provides our community. CEO Dr. Linda Farley explains 5 lessons of leadership she's implemented to allow her organization to not only perform during the pandemic but exit with a stronger team, more options for the girls and young women they serve and better prepare them for leadership roles in their lives. The content in this episode can benefit any organization, non-profit or for profit as it provides insights to be implemented, a refresher for managers or team leaders and some common sense elements to lead with confidence and decisiveness. Everyone knows their favorite Girl Scout cookie but going well beyond the cookie is the leadership in our communities that originated as a Girl Scout. This episode clearly exhibits why.

Junior Achievement in the greater Sacramento area is an institution that has been helping youth get a grasp on financial literacy for over 60 years. As with many of the local non-profit agencies and business, the opportunity to continue with their traditional fundraising events has been diminished. Learn a little more about the steps JA is taking to both maintain and grow and some of the unique programs they offer to students in the community about the awareness of money. Operating nearly totally virtually, the JA programs will be offered at no charge for the near future to give students at home the ability to participate and engage while the shelter in place rules continue. Susan Nelson, President of the organization and James Smith, a student at Cristo Rey High School and both JA student and part-time employee, explain why Junior Achievement is a worthy cause and a benefit to the community.

Celebrating 40 years of granting children's wishes and World Wish Day, Make-A-Wish has seen over $1M of event income evaporate as a result of shelter in place mandates during their big event season. In addition, many of the children's wishes cannot be granted at this time as they involve travel or large gatherings. However, with that same fervor of hope that a wish brings to a child, A Toast To Hope is the virtual outcome for what is typically the largest fundraiser of the year. April 29 is the date and the event will be live-streamed on Facebook as well as posted on YouTube. Included in the event will be more than 150 auction items that can be bid on, amazing getaways to Hawaii and Tahoe with no blackout dates and many great wines and baskets of goodies. Make-A-Wish is in need of volunteers as well as donations to continue to support the wishes of the children. For more information on the event visit https://necannv.wish.org. To participate in the silent auction go to https://mawcanv.com/toast and have a great time...literally and virtually!

In a slight deviation from the stories as told by the non-profit organizations, this episode actually is the outcome of crossed paths in the process of discussions for the benefit of the non-profits as two marketing leaders in the community thought it might be a good idea to share why marketing in an economic downturn is a good idea. Listen in as Jeff Holden, Principal and Visionary behind MultiPoint Content Strategies/Hear Me Now Studio and Tina Reynolds, President of Uptown Studios share a casual conversation about the significance of keeping your organization visible and relevant in the community. For more information on the pro-bono work being done by both Jeff and Tina, they can be reached at: [email protected]@uptownstudios.net
