Cause Strategy Partners Launches BoardLead Young Professionals - An Innovative Program Connecting Rising Talent with Young Professionals Boards

New York, NY — Cause Strategy Partners is excited to announce the launch of a groundbreaking initiative designed to bridge the gap between a generation of rising corporate leaders and the nonprofit sector. Building off of the success of BoardLead, their flagship governing board matching and training program, BoardLead Young Professionals will offer young professionals at Fortune 500 Companies and Professional Service Firms the opportunity to be matched to young professionals boards and other non-governing boards at nonprofit organizations. As these individuals are beginning their service, BoardLead Young Professionals will also provide the necessary training, guidance, and support for these candidates to make a meaningful impact on nonprofit boards and, eventually, serve their cause on governing boards.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest among young professionals to engage with nonprofit organizations, make a difference in their communities, and pursue a purpose-filled career. However, many face challenges in finding the right opportunities and gaining the knowledge and experience needed to identify the right organization and serve effectively. After surveying and speaking with scores of corporate partners, young professionals, and nonprofit organizations, Cause Strategy Partners recognized this need and developed BoardLead Young Professionals to provide a structured and supportive path for these individuals.

Cause Strategy Partners' Chief Program Officer, Erin M. Connell, commented on the program, stating, "We know that young professionals bring new perspectives, energy, and creativity to nonprofit boards. With this new offering, we aim to empower emerging leaders with the knowledge and direction they need to make a meaningful impact on a cause they care about. Our team envisions a future where these young professionals eventually step onto governing boards, further strengthening the leadership of the nonprofit sector."

The program will be launched in early 2024, offering a group of young professionals the chance to join young professionals boards at various nonprofit organizations.
