Really looking forward to this conversation with Mickey Fearn!
His work reimagines what parks and public spaces can be—not just amenities, but places where we foster creativity, equity, and civic connection.
If you care about community, learning, or leadership, you don't want to sleep on this one!
High turnover isn't just frustrating—it's expensive. And in the nonprofit world, it's often the hidden factor undermining impact, consistency, and team culture.
If your team is looking for a retention strategy that actually works—and pays for itself—this is a great place to start.
“We don’t need coaches less—we need them more.
Because they’re often the most connected adult in a student’s life.”

An infographic showing the three ways Participate makes LERs work. 1) CBOs use Participate's platform to create and issue verified LERs 2) Learners earn and showcase their credentials and 3) Employers access the trusted data in the LERs
LERs + The Right Tech = Real Value
Learning & Employment Records are verifiable credentials for the modern workforce.
Our CoP platform helps CBOs create verifiable credentials that:
- Support diverse learners
- Connect skills to employers
- Build trusted hiring pathways
