Why is "talking shop" with peers from inside an industry so therapeutic? A little over a year ago when we first announced we were building The Nonprofit Hive we asked the question WHY you would want to be connected 1-1 with another nonprofit pro. The results were kind of what we expected. You, nonprofit pros, are overwhelmingly looking for #community. Engaging in "talking shop" with peers from inside an industry can be therapeutic for several reasons: 1. Shared Understanding - understanding of the challenges, industry-specific issues, empathy. You are looking for validation and to be heard. 2. Problem-Solving - an opportunity for collaborative problem-solving. You can exchange ideas, strategies, and best practices. 3. Networking and Camaraderie - Engaging in conversations with industry peers allows you to establish connections, share experiences, and build mutually beneficial relationships, which can enhance your overall well-being. What did we miss a year ago? What else are you looking for in a social-impact focused collaboration?? #networking #nonprofits #philanthropy #communitybuilding

~~ HUMAN MARKETERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! ~~ We at SUBLIMITY are stoked to announce our next Wonder Camp, in glorious Charleston SC! What we learned from our first Wonder Camp, this past October, included: 1. Time to get away to think creatively is what leaders loved most 2. In their hearts, good marketers want to ground themselves in "what human beings really love", rather than merely "what's most efficient for our organization" 3. Mixing in deep refreshment doesn't just lead to, well, deep refreshment, but it also leads to a level of imaginative thinking that just doesn't happen in our workplaces 4. Some of the best ideas for the creative concept you're thinking about will come from people in completely different organizations 5. While Wonder Camp is excellent for individuals, it's truly powerful for pairs. There's just something about two colleagues from the same organization coming to Wonder Camp that unlocks all sorts of creativity and critical thinking. If you're thinking about how to attract new audiences to your organization, and how to create experiences that will retain your existing audience members, Wonder Camp is the place to... 💥 turbo-charge your imaginative creativity 💥 help you get "more human" in your marketing and fundraising and 💥 get the refreshment you need for the joy, peace and fearlessness that your calling requires At Wonder Camp Charleston, we can take up to sixteen people from eight organizations.

The story so far... April 2023 Following the initial conversation with a wider group of young people asking the question: What If?, a core group of five young people (18-25) met to plan what this new young person-led organisation could look like. We explored what change we wanted to see in our communities, why we wanted to see it and how to put it into action. As a group we decided that we wanted to commit to: • Reaching young people where they are at; meeting practical and social-emotional needs by building long-term relationships and tailoring support to each individual. • Inviting young people into community and belonging by running positive activities, providing safe spaces, and developing a network of support through local partnerships. • Creating opportunities for young people to build skills, gain experience and lead in shaping change, influencing local strategy and practice. We then committed to the next steps in setting up as a charity, whilst being incubated by Gateway Church Swindon who shared our vision and values. And so WAY was born. #WAY #WAYUK #WAYSwindon #WAYmentors #makelastingchange #volunteerswindon #youngleadersswindon
