Change The World Podcast - Ep. 7
[00:00:00] Guest: [00:00:00] Hi,
Tzivia: [00:00:08] my name is Tzivia Cohen. I'm the founder of 14 minds, a marketing agency that specializes in developing strategic campaigns to help nonprofit organizations connect with their audience. I've had the privilege of meeting some inspirational nonprofit leaders and doers who have devoted an untold number of hours to achieving their mission.
Many of these incredible individuals that shared a similar frustration repeat along these lines. [00:00:30] No one knows what we really do. Not even our own volunteers. It's so hard to explain all of our different services. People think our organization is a lot smaller than it is. That's why I created this podcast to give non-for-profits a platform to share their mission with the world.
I hope these conversations inspire you as much as the inspire me.

I guess it's like one of my second or third time being on a podcast. So out of my comfort zone, doing it. Lucky
Tzivia: [00:01:22] me. I'm so excited. This is going to be fun. So can you tell me, let's just start by telling me a little bit about the
Guest: [00:01:28] organization. Okay. [00:01:30] So my extended, the family was started actually, while I was a cinema.
I felt like we live in such an amazing community where we have services for every kind of person, children that are sick, anyone that struggles with anything, we really, our community really lends itself to being a community. And I felt like when it comes to single parenting, there really wasn't much before.
So I was just going to mama for children, something. [00:02:00] So my other family started, we never had any idea what we were getting ourselves into. We didn't realize how great the need was until we jumped. Basically started about almost nine years now, I brought the idea to rep a yes, you Bigler. He was the rabbi of mine, still in thought Bush, very close to them.
And his wife actually credit Ram today to them, they really guided me and basically said like, we have to do something. And it was right before Hanukkah time. And he was like, [00:02:30] you know, unless they want to go party a single mom, we decided we'll do it in his house. You can imagine this house in Flatbush rabbi.
It's not that. And we thought like, we'll have, you know, 10 funny kids, like how many kids are going to have to put the word out. It was just word of mouth. And before we know it yet. Oh my goodness. Okay. Now, um, so we took a hall and we threw this huge $25,000 party, which we had no idea we were getting the money from [00:03:00] like, we laid out the money, but you had no idea how we were going to work with.
And that's how I spend the family was born. Yeah. So that's what we started today. We operate in Flatbush. Muncie five towns. I, we just opened the Teaneck and we're on track. Been find out another relocations within the next year. And then the tri-state area. Uh, the kids come once a week, obviously a separated boys and girls.
They come once a week for the center, whichever in their respective center [00:03:30] and their sound they're provided with social work staff. A big brother or big sister. So basically like a mentor within the Sheba or B staff kind of system. It's that high school girl or boy that. Becomes their big brother, big sister there serve suffer.
They do activities. We provide all of my trips. We make sure that any need that they have is filled. If we stick to that from the boat, we will take care of that. We take care of school...
