The
Quest for Work-Life Balance in a Nonprofit Job
Nonprofit employees are known for their dedication to
their jobs, devotion to their organization's missions and passion for their
careers. In the study The
Voices of Nonprofit Talent, Commongood Careers found that 84 percent of nonprofit jobseekers
saw work as part of their identities, not just a way to make a living. While
this level of commitment is a driving factor when it comes to working for social
change, it also can be a factor in the ability for nonprofit professionals to
find a healthy balance between their work life and personal life.

the latest news and ideas related to nonprofit talent, hiring trends,
and more:
Volunteers are people too! People
- not money - make an impact. People find ways to get things done,
even with little or no money. As any cash-strapped start-up organization
knows, much can be accomplished on a budget of $0 if you have
passionate, committed people putting their talents to work.
Exploring hiring challenges (and avoiding volcanic ash) at the Skoll World Forum Recently our
fearless leader James Weinberg attended the 2010 Skoll World Forum in
England. Since the rest of us were not able to attend, we had a million
questions for him when he got back. Here are a few snippets of what he
had to say.
Show me some credentials Did
you know that American Humanics (AH) is the only national nonprofit
organization bringing together nonprofit organizations and higher
education for the purpose of credentialing future nonprofit managers and
leaders? Now is your chance to make your voice heard and shape the
future of AH's credentialing program.
