Early on in college, becoming a music journalist was my ultimate goal. So, finding new music wasn’t just a hobby, it was a way of deconstructing and analyzing the music industry. This may or may not have led me on a journey of attending 100 concerts in various countries in 2010. Fast forward to present […]

Meet Monica. She’s a self-proclaimed lover of the sun, which makes living in San Diego the perfect fit. More importantly she’s also a self-proclaimed planner, which makes her the perfect fit as our Donor Communications intern. Monica and the rest of the Development team get the opportunity to individually thank and work with our donors and […]

  New York City has 11,412 payphones. Depending on how you look at it, that’s 11,412 eyesores or 11,412 opportunities.

Meet Jesse. He’s a member of our Engagement Team and he rarely forgoes the opportunity to suit up – more often than not, he’s best-dressed in the office. Credit that to his mom and the online tie borrowing club he’s a member of. But enough about the suit and tie. Let’s get down to the business […]

Disusing the blurring line between organic and digital may be one of my favorite conversational topics (no, really.) See, in college I took a class titled Politics of the Future and in a nutshell, it ruined my life. In a good way. Five books and five papers later, I was left fascinated with the relationship […]

Graphic Designer Kai Krause is changing the world in his own way through his reconstructed map of Africa, with several  non-African countries overlaid within the continent’s borders. His goal is to make a contribution in the fight against immappancy. Krause explains the concept of “immappancy”: “In addition to the well known social issues of illiteracy and innumeracy, there […]
