How I Teach Men to Work with Women
By Will Marré

Combining Philanthropic Spirit with Professional Skills
By Monica Eaton-Cardone

Whether it's helping to feed those in need, cleaning up a local park, or mentoring younger kids, Americans overall contribute a fair amount of volunteer hours each year. Studies show more than 25% of Americans volunteer regularly, contributing a collective total of 7.9 billion charitable service hours, or $184 billion, each year. While it's great that so many people are willing to help out in whatever way they can, what nonprofit organizations really need are skills-based volunteers.

Thought Leader Spotlight: Michelle Caruso Cabrera
By Fatimah Gilliam

It might have been a twist of fate with my high school teacher, but I quickly realized how much I loved telling stories. When I was younger, I thought I was going to be a criminal psychiatrist. I thought it would be interesting to know what makes a criminal tick and why someone would do certain things.
