Testimonials
President of DC Central Kitchen
Nonprofit Rockstar Leadership Intensive
“Young people are part of America’s most educated, diverse and “connected” generation. Many of them reject the notion that they must choose between making a living and doing good, and they are flooding into the nonprofit sector to make their mark. That’s why “How to Become a Nonprofit Rockstar” is such an important book.
Rosetta and Trista have chosen amazing examples that will arm these eager young believers with the tools they will need to move up and make their mark but more importantly, that will also help them evolve from young idealists into powerful thought leaders.”
