Summer 2016, DRF interns explored and identified the unrealized, and often overlooked, resources in the smaller neighborhoods around the Dan River Region by engaging in Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). ABCD is an approach to community improvement which focuses on the identification of a neighborhood’s strengths, rather than its needs.
Interns were assigned to teams that worked within local neighborhoods to identify the skills, personalities, associations, institutions, structures and relationships that make up that particular community. This information will help DRF and residents gain insight into the resources available, and those still needed, to help the neighborhood thrive.
DRF believes that interns working at this grassroots level can contribute to our efforts to make significant changes in that community’s civic capacity. Therefore they are contributing towards the work of DRF’s larger, overall goal of a more vibrant and revitalized Dan River Region.

The Missing Middle: Cultivating a Deeper Connection to Mid-Level Donors and B...ImpactDC
What do you do with those troublesome mid-level donors? They're not major donors, nor are they membership donors, but they tend to act a bit like both. Share Our Strength and Impact Communications share their mid-level donor secrets with you, from walking you through the lifespan of the Mid-tier Ambassador program - that cultivates and stewards mid-level donors - from concept and implementation to results. The analysis will include a head to head comparison of managed donors against similar donors who were not managed. You will also learn how to maximize revenue from middle of the file donors, in today's environment of declining donor files. You'll learn from first hand examples of solicitations and stewardship efforts designed to help "build a better bridge" from direct mail to major gifts.

2. Why Am I Here & What Are We Talking
About?
Social Justice Interns 2017-2018
3. What Does Catholic Charities Do?
•“Catholic Charities fulfills the Church’s role in the mission of charity to anyone in
need by providing compassionate, competent and professional services that
strengthen and support individuals, families and communities based on the
value and dignity of human life.”
• Provides over 150 social service programs throughout the diocese serving over
1 million persons.
• In areas such as Child Development, Counseling, Domestic Violence, Emergency
Assistance, & much more…
• Advocate for their clients in local & state governments.
4. What Does “Board Relations” Mean?
Broken into 3 Parts
• Board Relations
• “The primary role of the Department of Board Relations is to assist the Catholic Charities Board of
Advisors in fulfilling the mission of Catholic Charities.”
• Junior Board
• “The Catholic Charities Junior Board is a group of young adults supporting the programs and services
of Catholic Charities through volunteer, social and faith-based activities.”
• Volunteer Relations
• “Manages intake, response, screening, and matching of volunteer inquiries to Catholic Charities
service programs that need them.”
5. “The Weight is a Gift”
• Casino Night
• Celebration of Giving
• Junior Board
6. What Does Behind-The-Scenes Work
Even Mean?
• Work that is done when no volunteers are
around nor fantastic events taking place.
• It is the work that almost no one sees, yet sets
everyone and everything else up for success.
• It is the epitome of what unfolds in the offices
of the amazing people at Catholic Charities.
7. Why Does It Really Matter?
• Without the amazing work of those in volunteer relations, a
lot of the volunteers would never be exposed to things like
working with those experiencing homelessness.
• Their work is what allows for the breaking down of barriers in
society.
• It creates an environment that emphasizes the clients rather
than volunteers or donors. Significantly lessening the “hero
complex” that can be seen in service work.
• In a department that is focused on mission engagement, it
does just that.
