Each week, I invite you to tune in to my live internet radio show, Perspectives From the Pipeline on BlogTalkRadio! Join me on your lunch break every Wednesday at 12pm EST for live discussions where we talk about current nonprofit events, highlight new initiatives, and promote the voices of young people and leaders of color working for social change. This is free, real-time professional development where you will get to learn about what’s happening right now in the nonprofit sector, as well as chime in with your questions, thoughts and ideas.
December 2, 12:00-1:00pm EST
What Should Racial Diversity Look Like in the Nonprofit Sector?
My October show about race and social justice philanthropy sparked some passionate commentary from many young nonprofit leaders of color. They said, and I agree, that we should also be discussing ways to involve people of color more deeply in nonprofit work. So how do we do that? This week’s guests:
- Tamar Cloyd from Education Voters of America
- Stephen Bauer from American Humanics and Nonprofit Workforce Coalition
- Shawn Lewis from Pan African Community Endowment of The Saint Paul Foundation
Hear their thoughts and add your own to this important discussion! Also, see below for a few background posts I’ve written about the need for more racial diversity in the nonprofit world.
