National Consumers League project
10/23/2009

At more than 100 years old, the nation's oldest consumer organization, the National Consumers League, was founded on the principle that the working conditions we accept for our fellow citizens should be reflected by our purchases. At the same time, consumers should demand safety and reliability from the goods and services they buy.

Protecting and promoting social and economic justice for consumers and workers in the United States and abroad was the League's fundamental purpose in 1899, and still guides their programs today. The National Consumers League is a private, nonprofit advocacy group representing consumers on marketplace and workplace issues.

NCL provides government, businesses, and other organizations with the consumer's perspective on concerns including child labor, privacy, food safety, and medication information.

Cope Family Center Launches Talent Management Program
01/28/2010

One way Cope Family Center is working to maintain community services during these challenging times is with an innovative new volunteer initiative, the Talent Management Program. Cope began as a volunteer effort 37 years ago, and saw the current economic crisis is an opportunity to return to its roots and energize the organization with a new surge of volunteer power.

The Talent Management Program aims to recruit skilled volunteers to join the Cope team by carefully matching volunteers' skills and interests to one of several service opportunities. Cope has trained their staff on best practices of volunteer management, developed job descriptions and lines of supervision for a variety of volunteer positions, and in September, hired Americorps member Aimee Inglis to manage the program.
