Welcome to the Nonprofit Optimist podcast! In this first episode, I introduce the three goals for this podcast: Encourage the development of small organizations by sharing lessons learned. Increase the awareness of good that is occurring in the world. Provide a platform to showcase awesome nonprofits. The nonprofit featured in this episode is CROSO (Child Restoration Outreach Support Organization). In addition to hosting this podcast, I am the founder and executive director of CROSO. CROSO is a nonprofit that provides college scholarships for former street children in Uganda. To learn more about how (or why) this nonprofit got started and how we've slowly grown as an organization, listen to the episode! Show notes can be found at www.nonprofitoptimist.com.
