Last Wednesday, our Development & Communications Coordinator, Chloe, had the opportunity to return to her alma mater, Temple University, to join a panel discussion for the Human Development and Community Engagement major’s Professional Seminar 1 class. ❤️

The panel brought together students interested in careers in the human services and nonprofit sector, giving Chloe the opportunity to share insight into her experience working in nonprofit fundraising and communications, including the important role that marketing and development play in advancing an organization’s mission.

Chloe also had the chance to offer advice and encouragement to students who are passionate about making a difference in their communities and pursuing meaningful careers in the nonprofit sector.

Our staff came together today for an in-office day filled with learning, crafting and connection. We took time to slow down, practice mindfulness, and recharge together, while also learning more about the incredible work happening across our organization.

It was a great opportunity to better understand each other’s roles, share what we do, and connect with colleagues we may not get to see every day.

Most importantly, we got to bond as a team and spend time together outside of our usual day-to-day routines. We’re grateful for the opportunity to come together, learn from one another, and continue building a strong SCCA community! 💙
