Ric Juarez started Dear Future as a small side project to help people in his birth country of Peru. After serving in the Navy, Ric felt the need to keep serving, and in just a few years the mission of Dear Future has grown and reached communities in the US, South America and Africa.
Category: Community Engagement (Page 3 of 3)
RJ Zimmerman has been sober from alcohol, drugs, gambling and other addictive substances and activities for 8 years. He started the “Untapped Keg” podcast to address and create a community of people who are trying to life a fuller life without the barriers that certain substances and activities can create. But also included in that community are people who want others to live according to what is best for them and choose to indulge in certain substances and activities within reason and responsibly. He talks about a culture that all but requires people to partake lest they suffer exclusion and how it makes living a sober life by choice that much more difficult. He talks about the importance of connection with one’s self as well as family and friends.
Nonprofits can sometimes be at a loss to paint a detailed picture of the impact they’re making. “Just HOW and HOW MUCH are we helping our constituents and our community?” Maryfrances Porter of Partnerships for Strategic Impact can help answer that question and many more. Nonprofits often don’t know what they know and think that the mission is enough. By using detailed data they can learn so much that it can lead to evolution and adaptation of that mission and sometimes even changing the nature of the mission itself.
