Revolutionize how you recruit, hire, and develop the next generation of changemakers.

Second Day’s mission is to launch the most diverse and innovative generation of social sector leaders in American history. As the next wave of grant writers, program managers, communication coordinators, and community organizers join mission-driven organizations, the social impact industry has an incredible opportunity to foster a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

We partner with nonprofits, foundations, social enterprises, and other mission-driven teams to create talent strategies and experiences that will recruit, retain, and support diverse junior talent.

Strengthen your learning and development offerings.

Second Day has a robust library of workshops on everything from communicating effectively with your manager to navigating the nonprofit industrial complex. We design and deliver custom workshops to meet the needs of your team members and the mission of your work. These range from one-off series to running programming for a whole program.

Design a recruiting strategy rooted in lived experience AND work experience.

Second Day can help your team design a more transparent, equitable, and efficient recruiting strategy. This includes reaching more diverse candidates, benchmarking against competitors, writing more effective job descriptions, evaluating the selection process, and more.

Evaluate and improve how you currently support junior/mid-level staff.

Are you tapped into how your early-in-career team members are doing? Do they feel bought into the mission of the work? Are they receiving the type of support they need to thrive and stay at the organization long-term? We work with organizations to evaluate and improve their early career positions.

Launch your own internship or analyst program.

We’ve created entry-level opportunities that not only align with the priorities, budgets, and needs of social impact organizations, but that create opportunities for structured learning and growth to enhance the experience for everyone. We can support the stakeholder engagement, budgeting, and promotion to build a program that works for you.
