This Powerpoint discusses how libraries can address Disconnected Youth in their communities, how they can target specific programming and tailor it to their needs and gives suggestions for community partnerships.
For many years, organizations that have been recognized as best places to work have received that recognition because they have cultures that create the conditions for people to thrive personally and professionally. Cultures in organizations that are good places to work develop environments in which people work together in support of the mission and vision.

What does it mean to localize? As an nonprofit goes international, it may encounter cultural differences, language barriers, issues of brand credibility in other countries, and more. Tools may need to be translated in more than language to make sense for different audiences.
We’ll discuss how to decide when to make the leap, available tools, and the importance of partnerships and community. Is crowdsourced localization for you? We’ll cover best practices in translation, software, and beyond.
How to thrive in the social era from new kindNew Kind
In the past few years we’ve witnessed bottom-up social movements like the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street, the rise of community-based companies like Facebook and Red Hat, and the ever-flattening landscape of business, government, and society. These social revolutions prove that we’re operating in a new kind of environment.
We’re playing in the social era — an era in which rigid, bureaucratic structures are fast losing ground to nimble, grassroots movements driven by purpose. Communities are replacing authority. Culture is more important than hierarchy. And innovation - not uniformity - is the asset worth striving for.
The groups that succeed in this social era work like movements: they produce contagious content, share cultural practices, connect partners, and work from bold purpose. Through this approach, community-based 21st century organizations are changing the world.
Join New Kind for an introduction to strategies and tools that will help you and your organization make the most of the social era.
