The Community Nonprofit Network Podcast – aka The CNN Podcast – was created to build a global network of community nonprofit organizations.

ADVERTISE WITH US TO BE SEEN BY 1000s EACH MONTH!

The community nonprofit world is lacking various key elements, that would help it grow.

The world of nonprofit organizations is lacking an interactive and knowledgeable base of people who are genuinely passionate about curing the world’s ills.

The CNN Podcast is hosted by Ericka Scott, Executive Director of LifeChangers, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, based in the Atlanta, Ga. area. She is a Christian Life & Business Coah, and Owner of By the Book Coaching LLC.

Ericka is driven to serve others realizes that there is a gap in how each nonprofit organization gains knowledge and resources that could help them serve their community in a , much bigger way.

Although there are many local, state and federal agencies and organizations to support nonprofits. Organizations such as the Community Foundations around the country, is a valuable resource, but there is still a need for a platform where the spotlight shines on nonprofit organizations, and all the good work they are doing in their community.

Ericka Scott is passionate about reaching young adults to help guide them onto the right track. Ms. Scott understands that the family structure is often broken, forcing parents to use most of their time and energy to keep food on the table and a roof over their family’s head.

Ms. Scott was raised in this same type of environment. Her father was  in prison most of her formative years. Her mother worked two, often three jobs, just to make ends meet while raising two children alone.  This resulted in Ericka getting into legal trouble of her own, and giving birth to her first child at 18 years old.

Unfortunately, the name Ericka Scott did not stand out, then. Nor, is her story unique or rare. This story is like so many.

 This speaks to the passion that fuels Ms. Scott’s mission. Helping young men and women learn how to stay out of the penal system, while discovering and living in their purpose, is the reason why LifeChangers, Inc. was formed.
