Seed Consulting Group

Brooke Crowe

Today on the GIVE Podcast we have Brooke Crowe, the Executive Director and CEO of the Seed Consulting group. This group is a little bit different from the guests we usually have on this show- but no less amazing. The Seed Consulting group fills in the professional services gap for sustainability non-profits. They provide professional services from a network of pro-bono providers that are some of the top people in their respective careers.

The Seed Consulting group has worked with groups such as Habitat for Humanity, Surfrider Foundation, US Green Chambers of Commerce, Sierra Club, UCLA, and Caltech. With the Sierra Club, they provided data and analytics to help pass Proposition 67 that was for banning the use of single-use plastic bags in the state of California. They work hard to bring together individuals who have key expertise to help really amplify whatever an organization can do for our country as a whole.

The unique aspect of the Seed Consulting group is that donations are amplified so much more. The projects they take on typically cost around $500 - but the amount of revenue that they generate for the non-profits they work for is in the thousands. The professionals themselves, who donate their time and expertise, become more marketable in their own fields.

Episode 40 - The Children's Centre of the Antelope Valley

The Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley

Sue Page

Today we are speaking with Sue Page from The Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley. Sue is the executive director of this incredibly important nonprofit in Los Angeles, California. The Children’s Center was founded over 30 years ago to become a safe space for child abuse victims. Since that time, this organization has evolved to help provide counseling, therapy, legal, and administrative services to kids in need in this area.

The Children’s Center is fighting an uphill battle. Los Angeles has 30% of the entire nation's foster care children. They are experts in treating victims of child abuse and have since expanded their services to help with prevention as well. They make it a point to not stop services when the children reach the age of 18, so they have more of a chance of entering adulthood successfully.

The Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley is a multifaceted organization that currently could use a lot of help. They never turn a child in need away and work tirelessly to provide kids and young adults with the resources they need to lead a happy life, outside of the system.

Episode 42 - Hillside Wellness Center

Hillside Wellness Center

Dr. Irene Yaymadjian

Today on the GIVE podcast we are speaking with Dr. Irene Yaymadjian from the Hillside Wellness Center in California. Hillside Wellness has three different programs that help people in need. They currently have a postpartum program, an LGBTQ TIA program, and a cancer patient caretakers support group. These three programs provide support to people who are struggling to connect to others by offering licensed therapy and group counseling sessions.

Postpartum depression is a common issue that no one likes to talk about. Women typically are embarrassed to get help- because they feel like this disconnect between themselves and the world around them from not being able to be happy with their situation, when society is telling them they should be thrilled. The Hillside Wellness Center takes these new moms under their wing and make sure they get the healing that they need.

Hillside Wellness is there for the entire community. They are located in San Fernando Valley in California - but as long as patients are willing to come to them, they will make sure they get the help they need. Anyone can walk into their facility and get the help they need without the steep price tags that are usually associated with therapy. The patient pays what they can afford.
