Statements & Search Criteria Mission Statement New Sector Alliance's mission is to accelerate social change by strengthening organizations and developing leaders. Since 2, New Sector has worked to change lives, organizations, and the world. Through our fellowship programs, early-career professionals develop leadership skills and nurture their commitment to social impact through a comprehensive Social Impact Leadership Curriculum, one-on-one mentoring, and coaching from peers and staff. Fellows are also matched with host site organizations, where they complete high-impact capacity building projects, including impact measurement, program expansion, and technology planning projects. Through this realworld experience, Fellows develop the skills to build long-term careers as leaders in the social sector while helping organizations better meet the needs of communities. Background Statement Many young college graduates, potential future leaders in non-profit and mission driven organizations, want to pursue social sector careers. But they turn away because they see a lack of training and career development opportunities in the social sector, especially compared to other career opportunities in the private sector that beckon the brightest college graduates. In New Sector, our Fellows participate in cohort models that include between 15 and 2 Fellows per Region and work in Host Sites for the duration of the cohort, from two to 11 months. Their cohort experience includes one half day group training session every other week; participation in a leadership development group, a smaller subsection of the cohort; an assigned mentor and daily responsibilities working with the leadership level staff of their assigned host sites. New Sector has engaged alums in over 1, hours of training. 95% of our Alumni say that the training and host site experience they had while in New Sector Alliance remains transferable and relevant to their work today. Currently our active Alumni association numbers over 8 members. Alumni continue to rely on New Sector and the relationships they developed to guide and support them in careers of service. The mission, to build the future capacity and leadership of non-profits, by training interested young people, has the additional and substantial benefit of strengthening the specific non-profits which provide the Host Site experience for our Fellows. These organizations get young talent, passionate about the field, selected through a very competitive application process that draws from across the USA. The Fellows not only learn from the experience, they make a substantial difference in the Host Site. These host sites represent a wide range of non-profit organizations, different sizes, different missions and different challenges. Our Fellows have completed capacity building, leadership development and management projects at more than 4 unique host site organizations across the country. Over 97% of Alumni tell us that the projects made them more effective as social sector managers and leaders. The host sites also routinely report enthusiastic responses to the passion, enthusiasm, talent and work these Fellows bring to host site organizations. In recent years Fellows have been placed in large and small Host Sites, primarily in the cities where New Sector operates. Impact Statement New Sector was founded in Boston and is entering its fifteenth year of providing local fellowship programs to train future non-profit leaders. We have expanded successfully to San Francisco (21), Chicago (213) and the Twin Cities (214) and have over 85 Alumni of our programs. Our Fellows have engaged in over 1, hours of training, and 95% of our Alumni say that the training remains transferable and relevant to their work today, which multiplies the impact of the training. Our Fellows have completed capacity building projects at more than 4 unique host site organizations, over 97% of whom tell us that the projects made them more effective, also multiplying the effect of our programs on thousands of community members. We are currently investing in growth priorities to reach 1, Fellows per year. 2
Needs Statement New Sector has been using its own internal funds to subsidize those particularly needy, vulnerable and underfunded non-profit organizations to enable those organizations to participate in the New Sector Alliance Fellowship programs. New Sector wants to rebuild it's scholarship pool to continue to both provide services to these underfunded, smaller and more challenged non-profits because it helps the non-profits and because helping these more high risk non-profits provides an excellent learning opportunity for our Fellows. We seek scholarship funds from foundations, corporations and city governments who are committed to supporting and building the capacity of non-profit organizations. The full cost of supporting a Fellow in a Host Site is about $1 per month. Our main cohort program is our RISE Fellowship which lasts for 11 months, about $12,. We want to raise $5, for scholarships. These funds will enable New Sector to offer Fellows organizational experience with a much wider range of non-profits and will enable these smaller, more at-risk nonprofits to take advantage of the capacity building skills brought to their service through the Fellows' contributions.
