This week's episode is part 2 of the Back on My Feet interviews - this time, with one of Back on My Feet's alumni members - and 2 time half marathoner - Bomani Perkins. In this episode we talk about what brought Bo to Back on My Feet, why he thinks the organization is so special, and what he's learned about life through running.

This episode is a special one featuring Back on My Feet, an organization using running to combat homelessness. (Yes, you read that right!). While not a natural pairing in most people's minds, the fact is running can be an incredible tool for confidence building, goal setting, and community - all necessary skills for those transitioning out homelessness and into better lives for themselves.

Think about this: most of the 520,000 elected offices nationwide are not significantly contested. There are no shortage of opportunities to get involved in politics in America - so why don't more people do it? And what would it take to get more people engaged? These are the challenges Empowered to Run's online courses are out to address, by breaking down the process so that everyone can have access to our democracy.

Life after the military can be just as challenging for veterans and their families as serving in active combat.  In their effort to transition back into civilian life, many struggle with a number of physical, psychological, social and economic issues. Join Dumont Moore, Founder of Veterans Strike Force, and me for a lively discussion of life after military service.  We will talk about the most common issues impacting veterans and their families, including housing, education,  employment and behavioral health; coping strategies, the work of the Veterans Strike Force and  available resources.

In a December 2016 blogpost on the Tutor/Mentor.org website, Daniel Bassill, PhD, CEO of the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC, wrote "I am one of those people who fear what will happen to our democracy and freedom, and the planet's health, over the next few years.  In some of the posts I've read, writers say 'don't lose hope' and 'get involved locally with a cause you care about'".  Those kind of articles inspired Dan to build upon his work in connecting youth with tutoring, mentoring and careers to increase civic engagement around issues that present the greatest barriers to community improvement.  In so doing, Dan has created maps and visualization tools to build youth service networks, as well as a planning tool to address issues such as community violence.  Check out links to handouts in the comments section.

Naomi Davis’ core beliefs can be summarized as follows: “Conserve or collapse; help is not on the way; nothing trumps self-help; only a whole-system solution can transform a whole-system problem.”  To that end, she founded Blacks In Green (BIG)  to create a 5-year green-village-building proof of concept in  a TIF in Chicago’s West Woodlawn community. She has also been instrumental in the negotiations surrounding a community benefits agreement between the Englewood community and Norfolk Southern Railroad.

  The state of Illinois has over 36,000 registered nonprofit organizations that are eligible for tax exemption. These organizations are at various points in their development.  Some are startups, and  will never achieve their full potential, while others are institutions that have stood the test of time for over a hundred years.  What are the characteristics that separate sustainable organizations from the proverbial “fly-by-night” organizations that are here today, and gone tomorrow?  Organizations that have long term sustainability tend to exercise excellent stewardship, yield results and have strong brands. Tune in as Valerie F. Leonard, an expert in community and organizational development, talks about ways organizations may strengthen their organizational capacity  to become powerful, productive and profitable.

When we speak of capacity, we are generally referring to organization’s potential to marshal their human, financial and other resources to effect positive change in the communities and clients they serve. Organizational capacity is impacted by a  number of factors, including leadership, the organization’s stage of development and changes in the environment, to name a few.  Organizations engage in capacity building activities in order to increase their effectiveness in serving their constituencies. Such activities include, but are not limited to, hiring new employees to meet increased demand for services; strategic planning to position themselves for changes in the environment; training board and staff on their roles and responsibilities, or automating financial systems.   Tune in as Valerie F. Leonard, an expert in community and organizational development, talks about ways organizations may strengthen their organizational capacity and better position themselves for fundraising.
