Youth, I.N.C. offers consulting services to youth-serving nonprofits through our Board Advancement Program, which helps boards reach the next level of leadership through customized assessments, hands-on consulting, and valuable tools.
The Board Advancement Program provides organizations with the opportunity to:
- Explore and build consensus on the board's role, responsibilities, and functions
- Address critical and emerging issues related to the board and organization
- Help every board member become engaged in appropriate and meaningful ways
Participating organizations are assigned to work with a strategic consultant over 18 months and receive the following services:
- Formal board assessment
- Facilitated board retreat
- Customized implementation plan*
- Recruitment of new board members from Youth, I.N.C.’s corporate network
- Ongoing support from Youth, I.N.C.
Organizations in the Program will become a part of the Youth, I.N.C. Partner Network, gaining access to additional benefits that include fundraising workshops, Executive Director Roundtables, and eligibility to apply for capacity-building cash grants.* Examples of plans include, but are not limited to: fundraising, committee structures, recruitment and orientation processes, succession planning, and board evaluation.
