Are you concerned about high turnover in youth-serving nonprofits? Wondering why dedicated staff working with vulnerable young people struggle to make ends meet? In this episode, you'll get findings from groundbreaking research on the wage crisis among youth-serving nonprofit workers in San Francisco, and what can be done to address it. Host Rusty Stahl interviews Madison Holland, founder of the Prosperity Initiative.Madison shares key findings from their recent report revealing that this workforce is predominantly women (69%) and people of color (80%), with over half not earning a living wage, and 40% working multiple jobs to survive. The research identifies how low wages create a harmful cycle: poor staff retention leads to deteriorating service quality, and ultimately worse outcomes for youth. Most critically, this undermines the trusted relationships that vulnerable young people need with consistent adult mentors, the very foundation of effective nonprofit youth work.The conversation explores solutions targeting different stakeholders: government funders must cover full program costs and reduce administrative burdens; philanthropic funders should provide unrestricted multi-year funding; and nonprofits themselves need to leverage collective power by refusing to underprice their services and explicitly prioritizing staff well-being in budgets. Madison emphasizes that investing in the nonprofit workforce isn't just about fairness to workers—it's essential for achieving meaningful outcomes for the young people these organizations serve.Bio:Madison Holland graduated from the University of San Diego with a bachelor's degree in Psychology (Childhood Development emphasis) and Political Studies (Social Justice emphasis). She later earned a Master's degree in Urban and Public Affairs from the University of San Francisco, focusing her thesis on legislation related to juvenile hall closures.With over ten years of experience working with children in various roles and settings, Madison most recently served as the Director of Advocacy and Government Relations at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco. There, she led advocacy efforts, managed government funding, and oversaw mentorship and youth advocacy programs. Madison has been actively involved in the Children & Youth Fund's Service Providers Working Group for seven years, where she contributed significantly to budget advocacy work, membership engagement, resource and infrastructure development, and more.Madison is passionate about preventing burnout, building a healthier youth-serving nonprofit workforce, and redefining narratives around working in the nonprofit sector. She believes that choosing a career dedicated to serving others should not require sacrificing personal well-being. She was a fundamental part of driving the work to obtain grant funds that led to the creation of the Prosperity Initiative.You can find all the episodes of this podcast plus our blog, toolkit and other resources at fundthepeople.org.

Send us a textThe UNFILTERED trio of Debora Juarez, Omari Salisbury and Enrique Cerna discuss the shocking indictment earlier this month of a Seattle anti-violence advocate and her family members for allegedly being a part of a multi-state fentanyl drug trafficking organization. Among the 14 people indicted, Marty Jackson, the executive director of the SE Network Safety Net, a community group that is part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County. The U.S. Attorney's Office says the indictments are linked to fentanyl that killed a member of the Lummi Nation in September 2023. Fentanyl has had a disproportionate impact on Indigenous people, and the Native American and Alaska Native populations have the highest drug overdose death rates nationally.UNFILTERED is a production of the Chino Y Chicano Podcast and Converge Media.
