What does it really
mean to be a mission driven non-profit? Certainly
it means to embrace a social cause and be essentially purpose driven to address
this social cause. It is important that
we are able to integrate the cause into our mission and our values and
establish core business practices to we can have an authentic social impact and
accomplish our mission.
As a non-profit, we agree
with Steven Van Yoder. He states that a
mission-driven non-profit cannot succeed on the passion of the Board and a few
volunteers. He goes on to say that a
mission-driven organization needs the commitment of others to support the
economic engine required to accomplish its goals. He then indicates that the mission must be
supported by core values and beliefs. He
also stated that the organization must be absolutely committed to the cause and
the work to be done to fulfill the cause.
At Entrusted Legacy
we think that afterschool programs are a vital part of the solution for
reinvigorating learning in our K-12 system.
We are committed to supporting the adults who work with youth by
providing the training and staff development needed by these youth workers to
successfully role model and mentor these youth.
If you find our
mission compelling, we ask you to entrust your legacy with us and help us to
make a difference in the lives of youth and youth leaders. There is an old adage that states, “Many
hands make hard work light” and we believe that our mission can be accomplished
if we work together. Please fo to our website
