Here are some organizations and cool stuff that I love. Maybe you’ll love them, too.
Campus Pride
An excellent organization that has become the go-to resource for LGBT college students and their allies. Check out their summer “CAMP” program. One of a kind.CAMPUSPEAK
The agency I co-founded in 1999. I think we’re the best in our industry because we treat college communities with respect, we hold our speakers to the highest standards, and we give back to causes that matter to our customers.College Speakers Academy
People have asked me for 20 years how they can be a campus speaker, so some friends and I decided to put together a two-day conference where we share what we know. You should come!Donors Choose
One of my favorite ways to give a little and have a big impact. Teachers all over the nation put their wish lists here, and with a tiny donation, you can have a very direct impact for children in your area. Very grassroots.Girls Fight Back
My friend (and former CS speaker) Erin Weed formed this company to help teach women of all ages to fend off violent attackers. Erin is doing amazing work.HazingPrevention.Org
An outstanding organization working toward the elimination of hazing on college campuses. They sponsor National Hazing Prevention Week, which I played a role in creating. They deserve your support.Keri Doolittle Photography
She took my most recent headshots. A real talent, based here in the Denver area.National Speakers Association
I’ve been a member since 2008. Should have joined sooner. Great professional development for those who make their living as speakers/trainers.Pete Mockaitis
Pete guest blogs here frequently and is a fellow CAMPUSPEAK speaker. Great guy. Think about him for your next leadership conference.Q Digital Studio
The studio that designed this beautiful website. I think they’re amazing.Special Olympics
Because if there’s a better non-profit in this country, give to it. Again, I give to this every year, because it’s inspiring and a truly beautiful American success story.Wish of a Lifetime
I have a very big place in my heart for seniors, and I just love this foundation started by Olympic skiier and NFL player Jeremy Bloom. It’s just an excellent example in my mind of a young man putting his celebrity to work for others.
