Lean On Me provides coaching, resources, and consulting to founders and first-time nonprofit executives to create scalable and sustainable organizations (that they want to work at too). Founded by Valerie Prentice-Sherrer in 2020, this agency is passionate about providing vital support to those who create and start and lead nonprofit organizations to ensure leaders thrive and communities flourish.
“As a nonprofit founder and leader, I learned firsthand the tension between wanting to dream and cast vision while at the same time needing to create healthy structure and systems that would position the organizational for capacity and growth. That’s why I formed Lean On Me – to support leaders in addressing this tension and see them empowered to achieve more as they are surrounded by professionals who have walked in their shoes.”
