Developing the next generation of nonprofit leaders is critical to the ability of charities and foundations to improve lives around the world.

The NGen: Moving Nonprofit Leaders from Next to Now program helps expand and improve the nonprofit talent pool by developing the skills and networks of emerging leaders under 40. The NGen program contributes to the cultivation of new talent, empowers NGen to contribute to their organizations, and emphasizes the role of younger leaders in the development of the broader nonprofit community.

Upcoming Webinar Series:

Being Fearless: Exploring the Practices of Social Changemaking
Thursday, June 6, 2013, 2:30 - 3:30 P.M. ET
Inspired by the Case Foundation’s Be Fearless campaign to inspire a more fearless approach to creating lasting change, this webinar is about trying things that are out of our comfort zone, being fearless, dreaming big, and learning from things that didn’t turn out as expected. Join Michael Smith, SVP of Social Innovation at Case, to learn about the key values of the Be Fearless campaign, which focuses on igniting a more fearless approach to changemaking. Featured panelists will explore how their organizations have stepped away from traditional ways of sparking social change and developed new approaches to tackling some of the social sector's toughest challenges. This FREE webinar is the first of a four-part NGen series on nonprofit leadership. Register Now
