Welcome to the Mission Impact Podcast. This week we’re talking to Cinthia Manuel.    We talked about:   the challenges nonprofits face in trying to make their services more accessible.  What to think about before getting started with community engagement.   Why Cinthia thinks traditional mentoring is backward.  Cinthia Manuel is the CEO and Founder of Autentica Consulting, LLC.
