Company: Year Up
Location: Boston, MA
Founded in 2000, Year Up is a non-profit organization with a mission to close the Opportunity Divide by providing urban young adults with the skills, experiences and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Year Up recognizes that the Opportunity Divide—specifically, historical barriers to education and professional work—is driven by race, ethnicity, national origin and socio-economic status. Year Up seeks to close the divide by setting high expectations and providing high support for our young adults.
Through a one-year intensive training program, Year Up provides urban young adults ages 18-24 with a unique combination of hands-on technical and professional skills, college credit, and corporate internships. Year Up lives by and adheres to a core set of values that reflects an unshakable belief in the talent and full potential of our young adults. With a $40 million operating budget, Year Up will serve more than 1,400 students in 2011 across eight sites in Atlanta, Baltimore (community college pilot program), Boston, Chicago, New York City, Providence, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. In 2009, when 75% of non-profits either did not grow or remained flat, Year Up grew its revenue by 23%, enabling us to increase the number of students we serve by 56%.
Year Up has the distinction of being rated one of the Top 10 non-profits in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, one of the 50 best nonprofits to work for by the NonProfit Times, and one of the best non-profits to work for by Opportunity Knocks. Other awards include Fast Company Magazine’s Social Capitalist Award for innovative business model and social impact in 2005, 2007, and 2008. In 2009, the Harvard Business School published a case study on Year Up’s origins and success.

Company: Life is good Kids Foundation
Location: Boston, MA
About the Life is good Kids Foundation:
Founded in 2006, The Life is good Kids Foundation is an action-oriented 501(c)3 nonprofit, committed to helping young children overcome the impact of poverty, violence, and illness . Our Playmakers initiative provides training, resources, and support to the adults dedicated to caring for these children so that all involved lead healthier, more joyful lives. Millions of our nation’s youngest children have experienced profound trauma in is many forms – domestic violence, abuse, neglect, natural disasters and extreme poverty. As a result, these children are often consumed by fear and powerlessness. They stop playing, connecting with others and experiencing the joy in the world around them. By providing play-based training to childcare providers, teachers and counselors (an amazing group we call our Playmakers), our approach provides children with opportunities to feel creatively engaged, safe, loved and joyful. This type of transformative play helps children form relationships with key adults in their lives and enables them to build resilience in the face of life’s greatest challenges. Since our founding, our Playmakers program has helped over 130,000 children throughout the country.
Our History:
The Life is good Kids Foundation has raised more than $8 million for kids in need through Life is good Festivals, a portion of profits made by The Life is good Company from nationwide sales of products, and public donations. Every year from 2004-2009 a Life is good Festival was held to benefit Project Joy, a unique and innovative grassroots nonprofit. Project Joy had been addressing early childhood trauma through the healing power of play for over twenty years, building a community of committed Playmakers — frontline child care professionals dedicated to the healthy development of children in need. The more Life is good experienced this nonprofit’s transformative impact on the lives of children, the more it became wholeheartedly committed to advancing Project Joy’s work. This growing commitment led the Life is good Kids Foundation and Project Joy to join forces in 2010. Project Joy is now the active service arm of the Life is good Kids Foundation, under the new name, Life is good Playmakers.

Major Gifts Officer
Company: Turnaround for Children
Location: New York, NY
Turnaround for Children, Inc. (Turnaround) works to transform low-performing, high-poverty public schools to bring about dramatically improved academic and life outcomes for children growing up in poverty. Through work in over 60 high-poverty schools since 2002, Turnaround has developed a model for equipping schools to address recurring and predictable barriers to learning and healthy youth development that arise from the circumstances of poverty. The model is delivered through a methodical, three-year process that instills fundamental instructional and behavioral practices in teachers and administrators, realigns community mental health services, creates permanent student support systems and fosters leadership practices essential for the success of high poverty schools. Through these processes, the schools develop the essential student support systems, adult competencies, organizational practices, culture and climate that are the foundation of a high-performing school.
Turnaround aspires to national impact through demonstrating the effectiveness of this model, implementing it in a growing number of schools and school districts, and advocating the adoption of the underlying principles and values in national education policies.
Turnaround for Children is at an incredibly exciting time in its development, as its highly effective school transformation model has begun to attract significant attention both from policy makers and philanthropists both locally and nationally, and it has become an important voice in the discourse around education policy at the federal level.
With a central office in midtown Manhattan and programs in Harlem, the Bronx, and Washington DC, Turnaround expects to continue to grow and add programs in NYC as well as new areas around the Northeast next year.

Communications Director, Louisiana
Company: Stand For Children
Location: New Orleans or Baton Rouge, LA
Stand for Children – a bold independent voice for public education reform – seeks an exceptional individual to manage the creation and implementation of an innovative communications and marketing plan that will drive the strategic messaging and member engagement for our newly launched state affiliate in Louisiana.
The Organizations
The Stand for Children family consists of two separate organizations—Stand for Children, a grassroots membership lobby for children exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and Stand for Children Leadership Center, a leadership development organization exempt under section 501(c)(3).
Stand for Children is an independent political voice for students whose mission is to ensure that all children, regardless of their background, graduate from high school prepared for, and with access to, a college education. To date, Stand for Children’s nine state affiliates (AZ, CO, IL, IN, MA, OR, TN, TX and WA) have won more than one hundred victories that have impacted the lives of more than two million children, including playing a key role in passing important education reform legislation in five states in 2010.
Stand for Children and the Stand for Children Leadership Center work together to build broad coalitions, use a range of communications strategies, and manage staff and contract capacity in order to:
- Educate and empower parents, teachers, and community members to demand excellent schools
- Advocate for effective local, state and national education policies and investments
- Ensure the policies and funding we advocate for reach classrooms and help students
- Elect courageous leaders who will stand up for our priorities
We believe all children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed in life. Education is the key that unlocks the door to success, but far too many children, through no fault of their own, aren’t getting the education they need to make it in life. We are passionately committed to righting this wrong. Our vision is of vibrant schools where:
- Strong leaders, strong teachers and engaged communities of parents work effectively together with a shared vision of success;
- Educators receive the support of mentors, relevant professional development, and meaningful feedback so they stay engaged and inspired;
- Educators hold high expectations and are accountable for their own and student’s success;
- Funding is stable and adequate.
