Non-profit organizations like DCAYA have a common goal: to bring attention to an issue affecting a community and work towards helping those affected. Our mission targets the youth in DC to ensure they have quality education and all the resources they need to succeed. But our efforts wouldn’t be possible without our team.
Non-profit organizations consist of passionate people who are devoted to a common cause; that passion drives them to work hard and come together as a team to promote and develop their organizations.
At DCAYA, our passion is the young people in DC. We believe every child and teenager has a special story to tell and deserve the opportunity be successful in school and at home. We have hosted summits to join forces with other nonprofits to come up with action items to help resolve issues the youth are facing, we have led advocacy and awareness campaigns and everyday, we empower youth.
While the causes and mission statements of nonprofits are important, the people working hard behind closed doors are just as important. The people who work everyday to research, accomplish and impact lives should be recognized for their efforts. Many times, those who work at organizations don’t just accomplish things in the office, they go out and testify at hearings to raise awareness on issues that are affecting families, teens and children.
That is why although today, March 2nd, we are celebrating #EmployeeAppreciationDay to recognize our team and those in other non-profit organizations,everyday should be employee appreciation day. Dedicated people are the backbone of organizations like DCAYA!
