Dear Friends of Princeton AlumniCorps,

Throughout the last twenty-six years, Princeton AlumniCorps has had two mutually-reinforcing goals: to provide alumni with transformative experiences that deepen their commitment to working for social change, and to support the human capacity of our partner organizations to address our society’s most pressing public issues. In the following pages, you will read about how we accomplished these goals in 2015-16 for our forty-one Project 55 Fellows, thirty-two Emerging Leaders, fourteen Innovators, sixty-nine partner organizations, and more than two hundred volunteers who serve as committee members, advisers, seminar speakers, and mentors.

Part of our mission is also to bring people together for dialogue, action, and community. Following our year of 25th anniversary gatherings in 2014-15, we continued to convene our national network of leaders and organizations in 2015-16. In October 2015, AlumniCorps brought together representatives from more than thirty institutions and organizations for the Engage at Every Age Conference. Over two days of workshops and discussions on the Princeton campus, attendees learned about effective, innovative models for alumni civic engagement and networked with colleagues from around the country. Organized by Jayne Barnard s'55 and co-sponsored by the Pace Center for Civic Engagement, the program featured speakers from alumni civic engagement programs at a range of colleges and universities, as well as the growing number of nonprofit organizations engaging alumni in public work, including Service Year, AmeriCorps Alums, College Advising Corps, Public Allies, the Bonner Foundation, CitizenAlum, and Encore.org.

In addition to the Engage at Every Age Conference, we hosted dozens of seminars and panel discussions around the country. Our annual public issues forum at Princeton Reunions featured a conversation about criminal justice reforms in New Jersey between Hon. Stuart Rabner '82, Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, and Joseph Krakora '76, New Jersey’s Public Defender, moderated by AlumniCorps Board member and former Ambassador to New Zealand and American Samoa David Huebner '82. Members of the Keystone Society—the AlumniCorps planned giving program—were treated to a breakfast conversation about the First Amendment with Margaret Russell '79, Professor of Law at Santa Clara University and an AlumniCorps Board member. Emerging Leaders learned from CEOs and executive directors of nationally-recognized nonprofits, while Project 55 Fellows attended seminars on topics ranging from identity and privilege to social entrepreneurship.

Our 25th anniversary generated new enthusiasm for the AlumniCorps mission, and our challenge in our 26th year was to sustain and extend that energy in our fundraising. Thanks to the generosity of both new and long-time donors, we reached our development goals in 2015-16 and continued to widen the circle of committed donors who support our work financially. Importantly, this year we set new giving records for Project 55 fellowship alumni, with more than 200 former fellows and interns donating to AlumniCorps. Our partnership with American Express continued to make the Emerging Leaders program possible in New York and Washington, DC, and the proceeds of our anniversary gala allowed us to invest in more transformative experiences for our Fellows, Emerging Leaders, and Innovators across the country.

Liz Duffy '88 Chair

Kathy Miller '77 President

Finally, in May the Board of Directors elected Kef Kasdin '85 to serve as AlumniCorps President, succeeding Kathy Miller '77, who has held this leadership role since 2011. Kef has served on the Board since 2012, and as the volunteer program leader for ARC Innovators since 2011. Her knowledge of the organization and vision for its future will build on the tremendous work done over the past few years to ensure AlumniCorps is a sustainable, dynamic, and multigenerational network mobilized for public good.

We are grateful for the generosity of so many friends and volunteers who contribute to our mission to engage alumni across generations in public interest work. We depend on your support and are proud to share in this effort with you.

In Community,

“I had an amazing placement where I was given responsibility and had incredibly valuable learning opportunities. I would not have been able to find an organization like this, or been offered my position, if I had not applied through Project 55.”

According to The Bridgespan Group, surveys consistently show that nonprofit organizations are acutely aware of their leadership development gaps, but unsure about how to address them. The Emerging Leaders program was conceptualized to address this public sector issue.

Emerging Leaders convenes 32 nonprofit professionals in two cohorts: 16 in Washington, DC, and 16 in New York City. Participants are selected from a competitive applicant pool of graduates from a variety of colleges and universities who have worked in the field for 2 to 8 years. Each cohort meets independently and has different guest speakers, but share the same general curriculum. Participants are also paired with experienced alumni in their fields of interest. Monthly sessions span eight months and conclude with a graduation ceremony in February.

Through the eight-month intensive program, Emerging Leaders gives participants the opportunity to stretch their skills and forge new connections with peers. Guest speakers and professionally-facilitated sessions on topics such as team dynamics, fundraising, board governance, and communications impart new skills and competencies crucial for effective leadership. Each Emerging Leader is matched with both a program alum and a more senior nonprofit professional from the AlumniCorps network who serve as advisers, reflecting our core values of crossgenerational work and mentorship. The program is supported by a lead grant from American Express.

Words most commonly used by Emerging Leaders in participant evaluations

“Emerging Leaders helped me to see effective nonprofit leadership as a mutual process that I share with my supervisor and my staff. I finished the program with more confidence to use that voice as a non profit leader.”

Emerging Leader Participant from Comprehensive Development Inc. in NYC

“Emerging Leaders demonstrated the tremendous value of peer coaching from nonprofit peers in different organizations and the importance of creating opportunities for nonprofit leaders to connect with their peers.”

ARC Innovators provides experienced professionals with opportunities to apply and expand their professional skills in a nonprofit setting through pro bono projects with our partner organizations. Innovators are professionals who are ready to contribute to organizations that need their particular skill set for an advanced, shortterm project. By bringing their expertise and a fresh perspective to bear on persistent challenges, Innovators create lasting change while gaining valuable experience and new connections.

14 ARC Innovators worked with 10 partner organizations in NJ, NYC, Boston & Washington, D.C. ARC Workshop on Career Transitions ARC Innovators not only matches experienced alumni with pro bono projects that need their skills and innovation, but also provides Innovators with opportunities for learning about and transitioning into the nonprofit sector. In November 2015, ARC Innovators hosted a webinar for all participants to reflect on their experiences and share insights gained. During Princeton Reunions in May 2016, AlumniCorps hosted a workshop on encore careers, in partnership with the '71 Legacy Initiative and Encore.org. The workshop included sessions on "Discovering Your Passion," "Finding Your Fit," and "Knowing Your Skills." Three encore professionals facilitated the discussions: 

During her fellowship year, Carly fulfilled her desire to work with children in foster care as a Case Associate with New Alternatives for Children (NAC). She wrote her Sociology senior thesis on sibling separation in foster care and adoption, and further developed her interest in the fields of law and social work.

“I decided that in order to best understand the system and one day represent those within it, I would work at a foster care agency before law school. I was lucky to find NAC, a foster care agency that represents children with special medical and developmental needs, through PP55.

Throughout my fellowship year, the AlumniCorps staff and the NAC staff guided me through the transition from school to full-time work instead of throwing me into the water alone.

Instead of just finding a job in foster care on my own, Project 55 provided me with a job, a community of like-minded peers, and many “This was the most rewarding advisers work I have ever, and likely will along the ever, be a part of.” way.”

Carly is most passionate about the time she spent with the birth parents of children enrolled in NAC services. “Since most children enter foster care because of abuse and neglect claims against their birth parents, many people are biased against these parents.” However, Carly’s biases were shattered as she met and interacted with the parents. “By listening to a birth mother’s story without judgment, believing in her ability to rehabilitate, and advocating for her daily both within and outside of the agency, I believe I played a small role in the work of reunifying families.” Carly still thinks of two birth parents who were reunited with their children during her fellowship year. She feels gratified that she was able to secure both of these families New York Times “Neediest Cases” grants which helped the families purchase $1,500 worth of resources for their children that will last for years to come. “The small role I played in reunifying and providing support for these families is the most rewarding work I have ever, and likely will ever, be a part of.” Carly is currently enrolled at Emory University School of Law.

Deb Thompson, current CEO of The Alternative Board, in Boston, had just relocated to the US from the UK when AlumniCorps President Kaf Kasdin '85 approached her about ARC Innovators. Deb was drawn to the opportunity to give her time to a high impact project, so working with City as a Living Lab Deb Thompson (CALL) was a good fit.

CALL was founded by the renowned artist Mary Miss to work with artists and environmentalists to create projects which foster public understanding of the natural systems and infrastructure that support life in the city.

Executive Director Olivia Georgia appreciated the chance to work with Deb on a core challenge: “We don’t have a facility and our programs are all over the US, so it’s hard to focus our marketing effort because what we do is quite spread out.”

Deb adds: “They were helping technical environmentalists to frame a problem for the public. I’ve held many senior positions in marketing, so that’s a problem I love: translating the technical into something the layperson can understand.” Deb was also fascinated by their architectural and artistic field: “These were people I would never have met otherwise!”

“I’ve held many senior Deb drew on her expertise in positions in marketing, so marketing to help that’s a problem I love: CALL frame their translating the technical into business plan, something the layperson and determine can understand.” how to communicate the plan. Deb reflects: “This was not teaching as much as it was showing them the way, and they immediately saw value.” As a result, by the end of the project, “They had much clearer view of where they wanted to be, and what they needed to do to get there. They had a priority list and a way of communicating with their board of directors.”

Olivia echoes Deb’s positive experience: “We ended the process with a matrix of ways in which we could measure our success and use it as a basis for tracking our accomplishments… We’ve refocused our program committee to think more about membership and marketing, and we hired a new marketing person.”

Communication has also improved throughout the organization, because Deb helped them gain more clarity and uniformity. As a result, Olivia reports, “We’ve been enjoying much greater attendance at our programs!”

As attorneys in Chicago, both Paul Dengel '76 and former AlumniCorps Board Member Paula Morency '77 recognize the critical need for pro bono legal aid in the city. They also knew that Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS) would be wellsuited for a PP55 fellow. With more than 50 years of experience, CVLS is the first pro bono civil legal aid provider in Chicago, providing comprehensive, efficient and cost-effective civil legal aid in the city. They coordinate, support and promote over 2,300 volunteer attorneys who then provide legal representation for the Chicago area's poor and working poor.

Paula and Paul introduced CVLS to AlumniCorps and forged a new partnership in 2015-16.

In 2015 PP55 fellow Miriam Araya '14 served as a Child Rep Program Coordinator. Phillip Mohr, Deputy Director at CVLS, supervised Miriam while she supported the program’s representation of children in contested custody cases. CVLS operates 24 legal clinics across the Chicago area, hosted evenings and weekends at community organizations and churches, where prospective clients can discuss their legal problems with an attorney. Miriam made a big impact by designing an effective data reporting system which allows CVLS staff to instantly access necessary information about the status of each case. In addition, Phillip was impressed that “Miriam engaged seamlessly with CVLS and built strong professional relationships within the organization.”

“Miriam engaged seamlessly with CVLS and built strong professional relationships within the organization.”

Working at CVLS also allowed Miriam to attend bar association meetings and build strong professional relationships within the organization. Phillip confirms that CVLS benefitted from the “contagious enthusiasm and energy” that Miriam brought to the organization. The organization had such a strong impact on Miriam that she is working there for another year while applying to law school, and she plans to pursue a career in the public sector. “I've loved working at CVLS and my time here has cemented my interest in the legal field. The staff at CVLS have been amazing to me and provided me with an environment where I feel encouraged to ask questions and have many learning opportunities.”

AlumniCorps’ relationship with CVLS is a great example of how our board helps to facilitate strong partnerships.

As the Associate Director of Educare in Washington, D.C. Jamal Berry serves as the instructional leader of the school while supervising the leadership team. Educare provides lowincome children from birth to age 5 with quality early education, supports families, equips teachers with effective teaching practices, and shares research to elevate early learning nationwide.

“I truly understand that

Jamal first learned there is no single leadership about the Emerging style that works for Leaders program everyone or every situation, through his supervisor, Pyper Davis '87, so as a result I am more Executive Director at flexible” Educare. Pyper felt that Emerging Leaders (EL) would broaden Jamal’s perspective about non-profit leadership in DC. She was right; the program made an indelible impact on Jamal’s leadership: “I have always been a reflective practitioner and now I think of how my leadership style and personality affects others and the school culture. I truly understand that there is no single leadership style that works for everyone or every situation, so as a result I am more flexible.” After graduating from EL, Jamal also took a more integral role on Educare’s Board. In addition, he now encourages his team “to be leaders, not based on title, but based on capability. I am a stronger bridge builder!”

Jamal found the most helpful aspect of the Emerging Leaders program to be the readings and guest speakers. “They were so related to our sessions. After our discussions there was reinforcement from current leaders in the field that we could all relate to.” In his opinion, one of the key secrets to the DC program’s success is lead facilitator Hilary Joel '85 “Hilary is amazing!”

Jamal would tell anyone considering EL participation that “It has the potential to be life changing if you are willing to reflect and change.” He recommends that participants “ask lots of questions and take what is applicable to you and your growth... everything you learn is an asset.” Jamal would recommend the program to non-profits, school directors or principals, and anyone willing to learn and better themselves.
