Launch Nonprofit Wage Collaboration Impact
Launch Nonprofit Wage Collaboration provides local nonprofit agencies with interns from Lakeland University at little to no cost to the nonprofit. To date, Launch has funded over $55,000 in wage relief, providing over 5,000 hours of labor. This equates to 15 different students being hired at 13 different nonprofits within a little over a year. Our goal is to increase the effectiveness of local nonprofit organizations by providing outstanding students to fill administrative and professional roles or customized projects or events.
Launch is planning on funding at least three opportunities in both the fall and spring semesters. Launch funds these positions through external donations and gives 10% of its net profit to this fund.
If you are interested in donating to Launch Nonprofit Wage Collaboration, please email John Putnam, President of Nonprofit Affairs at putnamj@lakeland.edu.
Also, make sure to watch out for Launch’s very own podcast, where we plan to interview Launch nonprofit student workers about their experiences and nonprofit’s experiences with Launch student workers.
