Craiglist Foundation Boot Camp
As a Community Partner to the 2006 Craiglist Foundation Boot Camp, we invite you to join us
June 10 at NYU Stern School of Business. The goal of the event is to educate and empower the
next generation of nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs, connecting them with valuable industry resources, peers
and potential supporters. Attendees will have the opportunity to choose
between 4 Educational Tracks -- Fundraising, Nonprofit Basics, Social Entrepreneurship, and IT/Technology -- and attend a Networking Reception.
In 2005, Craigslist Foundation's 2nd annual Nonprofit Boot Camp in San Francisco attracted over 1,500 emerging nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs and
supporters, receiving a 98% approval rating from attendees. Now the largest nonprofit gathering in the Bay Area, in 2006 Nonprofit Boot Camp is
expanding its reach and impact to the New York Tri-State nonprofit community.
For more information, visit the Craigslist Foundation website at http://www.craigslistfoundation.org/index.php?page=NY

YNPN-NYC MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: JESSICA WALKER
Jessica Walker, 2006 Nonprofiteer of the Year
Jessica, you are winner of YNPN-NYC's Nonprofiteer of the Year award as well as April's Spotlight of the Month, how are you feeling?
Yes, it has been quite a month! It really is the ultimate feeling to be recognized for doing the work that you love, so I'm truly honored.

You have an interesting background. Has your unusual upbringing been
a motivating factor in the work that you do?
Absolutely. I was raised on the Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico,
born to an interracial couple with "hippie leanings," as I like to say.
When he was my age, my father was an organizer in Martin Luther King's
Chicago campaign to eradicate slums. And my mother is the most compassionate,
moral person I've ever known. So when you couple their influence with
my being raised on the Reservation-a place where poverty, alcoholism,
and depression abound-then it's no surprise that I dedicated myself
to social change at an early age. Much of the work that I do today is
directly motivated by those early experiences. read

ARTICLES FOR YOU
Young, Gifted and Not For Profit
Social entrepreneurship, the idea of taking a business approach towards social problems, is getting a lot of attention these days. A recent piece by BBC
News explored how this concept is beginning to make its way into many schools' business curricula, including the Said Business School in Oxford, and how
social entrepreneurship is poised to change the way we view societal issues. Read more about it at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4939642.stm
Shortage Decade: Where Will the Next Generation of Nonprofit Leaders Come From?
This article on Guidestar not only explores reasons why the impending retirement of the baby boomer generations will
