Amplify Good Podcast

Carissa Youssef is one of the most forward-thinking leaders in the Canadian nonprofit sector. Fresh off three years as executive director of One Day's Wages and now stepping into the CEO role at Mennonite Central Committee, she joins Graeme for a wide-ranging conversation on what it actually takes to lead a large, complex nonprofit through an era of relentless change.

They dig into revenue diversification and social enterprise as a pathway to engaging the next generation, the difference between risk and courage in nonprofit leadership, why rolling budget approvals may be the future of nonprofit governance, and what Carissa's first 90 days at MCC look like.

A candid, energizing conversation for any leader who's stubbornly optimistic about the future of the sector.
