The focus of the community outreach programming at the Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations is the continued development of the talents, leadership, skills and expertise of those who work with youth. Our community outreach efforts can best be described as "supporting professionals who support youth."

We work toward our goals through a number of endeavors including the Treu-Mart Youth Development Fellowship and the Cuyahoga County Youth Work Institute. Our work is informed by research, best and promising field practices and the needs of organizations and individuals in Cuyahoga County.
