Why do you choose to work in the nonprofit field? What inspires you about it?
I went into the nonprofit field because I've always wanted to affect the world in a positive way, and I thought that being in nonprofit is a good way to do that. Even though I am not currently doing direct service in my current position, I am inspired every day by all of our projects (150+) and the people behind them. These people work so hard to be able to make society better. I also volunteer for other nonprofits in my free time, and I am very humbled by the dedication and selflessness of all the people that I work with.
Why do you think YNPN and YNPN LA are important? Why did you become a paid member?
What is your favorite part of your job?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?
