Three Non-Profits, Two Communities, One Grad Student - Charles Montesa

MIIS Radio

There are only so many hours in a work day. There are only so many breaks you can take before going back to the grind. For Charles Montesa, however, there are no breaks to help serve the three non-profit organizations he is working with this eventful summer 2020. Today we discussed those ventures and how Charles' vision for creating community is worth the listen.

Charles Montesa, a graduate student under the Master of Public Administration program at Middlebury Institute of International Studies and Student Housing Coalition member, discusses his learning experiences from three local non-profit organizations in California and how each organization is improving NGO coordination, increasing volunteers, and providing innovative research to the ending of global homelessness. Mr. Montesa is part of the second cohort of Housing + Innovation Research Fellowship program with New Story, a longtime contributor to Community Builders for Monterey County, and assisting Inkheart (a local Santa Cruz + Monterey County new NGO start-up) launch their start-up by the start of the new year, 2021.
