Civic engagement lies at the heart of nonprofit work, empowering communities, fostering democracy, and amplifying voices often unheard.

Nonprofit leaders heavily focus on their cause and organization's work, but at the end of the day when it comes to support, people buy from people.

We hear lots about personal branding and thought leadership in entrepreneurship, the corporate world and other industries — so l've put this together to empower leaders within #nonprofit organizations, charities, and social impact ventures to harness the power of personal branding to meet their goals and make more impact.

During this free online session, I'll share tips for developing a personal brand and how you can develop yours to align with your organization's mission and amplify your influence. From tips on storytelling, content, social media profiles and more, learn to increase your visibility, credibility and ultimately positive impact.

This is part of a complimentary series of talks and Q&A sessions featuring curated trainers from The Good Growth Company roster, each sharing 10 things nonprofit organizations and charities need to know about a given topic. The series is designed for leaders and within #nonprofits, charities and social impact organizations.

Canada has grown weary of meddling in Haitian affairs, as it did in 2004 when it sent troops there in a “stabilization mission” that very well may have made things worse. Last year, Canada denied calls to lead a security mission to Haiti.

[ACCESS innovation @accesscharity]

Canada has deep diplomatic ties with Haiti. It’s partaken in peacekeeping missions there, it’s Haiti’s second-largest donor, and Québec is home to over 140,000 citizens of Haitian descent — making it one of the largest centres of the Haitian diaspora.

A matcha popup for one-day only, supporting young changemakers.

Stop by for an iced or hot matcha latte, enjoy a treat, browse the market and support a great cause.

[ACCESS innovation @accesscharity]

@stacktmarket @SnaptureThis If you’re not a matcha drinker (and not willing to try), we’ll have some treats available + you can still support by making a donation (cash or card donation). Goods from the gift shop will be available all day, too.

You deserve a matcha moment.
