Are you in need of additional workforce support at your nonprofit?

Summit County’s Department of Job and Family Services (SCDJFS) and Jobs for Ohio's Graduates have a great opportunity for you to empower Ohio’s youth through the Summer Youth Employment Program. This eight-week, 20 hours per week program will provide 16-18 year olds with work experience, job shadowing, mentoring, and so much more. SCDJFS’s payroll provider handles all worker compensation and pays them directly. There is also a year-round program for 16-24 year olds.

Employers play a big role in the development and success of our youth. Register to become a work site by clicking the link below.

In 2023, nonprofit revenue from monthly gifts represented 31 percent of all online contributions. Savvy fundraisers are directing their energy to building monthly giving or sustainer programs that create a steady flow of donations and deepen donor loyalty. Join The Chronicle of Philanthropy for a 75-minute session to learn from nonprofits with successful programs how to set up a recurring gifts program and keep donors giving from year to year.
