Nonprofit Growth: How to Scale a Volunteer-Powered Nonprofit to 300+ Chapters - Luke Mickelson, Sleep in Heavenly Peace

Scaling a nonprofit sounds straightforward until you try to do it across hundreds of chapters powered almost entirely by volunteers.

What starts as a simple, effective model can quickly become harder to manage. Growth introduces complexity, consistency gets harder to maintain, and the systems that once worked begin to strain under the weight of scale.

But when it works, that same growth can turn a local idea into a global movement that reaches thousands of families.

So what does it actually take to build a model that can grow to 300 plus chapters and still work in every community?

How do you decide what to centralize and what to leave in the hands of local leaders? And what needs to be true for that kind of growth to not only protect the mission, but amplify its impact?

Learn how to scale a volunteer-powered nonprofit, equip local leaders to thrive, and turn everyday volunteers into lasting impact with Luke Mickelson from Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
