The ArcStone team originally sat down with MENTOR MN (formerly the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota – MPMN) at the beginning of 2016. We reached out because we had just designed and launched the local Big Brothers Big Sisters website and thought there may be a fit. At the time, MPMN was just starting to think about a website redesign; their current platform was simply outdated and wasn’t serving their audience effectively.

Here at Nonprofit Hub, we have a fun, creative workspace filled with lots of food and games. We go on walks when we feel overwhelmed. We take time to sit, socialize and enjoy each other’s company. And believe it or not, we leave every day feeling proud of what we’ve accomplished. While having a playful workspace may seem like a recipe for self-imposed disaster, it’s just the opposite.

If you haven’t read the remarkable story of Southwest Flight 1380, you might just be able to wait for the movie — it’s that stirring. The New York Times’ account opens with the line, “Tens of thousands of feet above the earth, the passengers clasped hands with strangers, prayed together and got ready to die.” Pilot Tammie Jo Schultz — already a fascinating and inspiring character — managed, somehow, to bring her crippled plane safely to the ground and save the lives of all but one passenger.
