Operations Collective

scroll to Learn more

The Operations Collective helps nonprofits build the systems and skills that keep an organization running strong as it grows. Executive directors, senior leaders, and team members from development, programs, operations, and beyond learn together, so change takes hold across the whole organization.

‍

Youth INC guides each cohort through two months of workshops, with optional coaching to help teams put new practices in place and keep them going.
