YouChange, China Foundation Center and Non-profit Organization Research Center of Renmin University of China (RUC) jointly launched the “One Hundred” Plan to cultivate 100 young leaders for philanthropy in China to fundamentally resolve the shortage of high-end talents in this field. YouChange has provided one million yuan fellowship to this plan to finance some students.
 
After the first class of students successfully completed their first-year studies, enrollment for the second class has started online on 10 October and application registration will close on 31 October.
 
The “One Hundred” Plan aims to train middle-to-high-end talents for philanthropy in China and focuses on education. On the basis of the dual master degrees program in non-profit management of RUC and University of Notre Dame, it plans to select one hundred candidates in five years and provide them with courses on non-profit management theories by well-known Chinese and American universities, internships in famous American NPIs, career development planning and complete guidance, and financial support. Its objective is to cultivate futures leaders in philanthropy in China who have both solid professional skills and practical experience in China and overseas.
 
Sarah Liu is now one of the founders of “Xiao Ti Da Zuo” Micro Charity. “I feel very lucky to have received financial support from YouChange and become one of the first group of “One Hundred” Plan—a project to cultivate 100 young leaders on philanthropy in China”, she wrote in her blog on her memorable experience that, “What we believe shapes us. And what kind of people we are also influences people around us.”
 
This program is backed by first-rate faculty from University of Notre Dame and RUC. On the American side, faculty from Mendoza College of Business and charity practitioners will teach; on the Chinese side, most teachers come from the School of Public Administration and Policy of RUC and some veteran practitioners will teach as guest professors.
