Multiply your potential through a community powered by the energy of MANY

MANY is dedicated to those who desire to be outstanding leaders and managers, pioneers and risk takers, and wish to make a positive difference in their communities. Our mission is to help our members be their best by nurturing innovative practices grounded in positive youth development. We know, in an environment of tight budgets and changing demands, successful organizations need to have a stable group of talented leaders and easy access to relevant resources. We connect great ideas and great people and then add the most valuable collection of services and professional resources.

Valuable connections to relevant people, resources, and opportunities

• Leverage our powerful portfolio of hand-picked resources. We do the leg work of finding the best consultants, the most relevant training topics, and ground-breaking research so our members have immediate access to resources that address real-time issues.
• Educate and retain talented staff. When staff have access to high quality training and resources on-demand, the result is increased staff retention and better outcomes for the youth they serve and the communities in which they live.
• Influence the development of innovative alternatives to traditional youth services. We provide the coordination and infrastructure to support in-depth exploration of critical issues. Be a part of the change you want to see in the region and your community.
• Reach a new level of networking. MANY is well- known for informal and strategic networking opportunities as a core component at all of our events. Access an entire network of peers and organizations that provide services grounded in positive youth development – just like your most trusted community partner . . . except these partners are located throughout the region.

On average, our members save $800 on trainings and other educational opportunities
