Social innovation
occurs across all sectors of our economy, from start-up nonprofits to the
federal government. This month's newsletter celebrates the work of some
outstanding talent who are working for social change in new and exciting ways.
To start, long-time
social entrepreneur Alan Khazei has entered the senate race in Massachusetts. Inspired
by his campaign's message that this election is fueled by a citizen movement,
we've written a blog about how volunteering on a political campaign is a great
way to show your support and boost your career.
We also feature an
article on urban education champion Earl Phalen. He spoke with us about his
new role as CEO of Reach Out and Read, and the organization's current
impact, growth plans, and hiring needs.
Finally, we are
happy to share a blog post written by our CEO James
Weinberg about his support for Patrick Corvington as the next
leader of the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Also in this
month's newsletter, you'll find the latest job postings at nonprofits across
the country, as well as a selection of career-related events.
Sincerely,
The Team at

Impacting Early Literacy, One Book at a Time
What will it take
to impact the school readiness of millions of urban children? According to Earl
Martin Phalen, it starts with a trusted professional handing them a book.
Earl should know.
He's been a champion for urban education since 1992. He recently became the
Chief Executive Officer of Reach Out and Read, a national early literacy
program. Previously, he was the CEO of Building Educated
Leaders for Life (BELL), an out-of-school time education program, as well as
the Founder and Chair of Summer Advantage USA, which combats summer learning
loss.
A longtime friend
and client of Commongood Careers, Earl caught us up on Reach Out and Read's
current impact and aggressive growth plans, including the inside scoop on the
organization's hiring needs in the near future.
