Nonprofits: One on One

I'm currently interning with a local nonprofit organization called the Jacksonville Public Education Fund! I am working on the ONE by ONE campaign. Visit www.onebyonejax.org for more information. I'm learning about nonprofit organizations on a daily basis as an intern and academically.

I've enrolled in a graduate online certificate program for nonprofit management with the University of Central Florida. I'm currently reading about nonprofit boards, their roles and responsibilities. If you go look at any nonprofit organization's board, you will more than likely find someone else who is involved with another nonprofit organization. It's all about forming networks, collaborations, partnerships, exchanging information and sharing resources.

My long-term goal is to continue my graduate work, get involved with various organizations and network in the Jacksonville community. I hope to begin a career in the nonprofit sector.

NY State of Mind

"New York sits bold and beautiful, brash and bounteous, a Big Apple, representing the best the country and people have to offer. Never has there been a city like it, now will there be again... it's a city of achievers, often beset by adversity, but never bested by circumstances." - John Clementis

This is a quote from a large poster of New York City that I hung up in my college apartment. It's leaning against the wall now with red and black ink marks scattered on the gray clouds. My two year old son, Zion wanted to leave his mark on the city.

It's a quote about life. Never let adversity or your circumstances keep you from you prevailing.

Keep a NY State of Mind!
