Nonprofits will draw inspiration from the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida, which is transitioning into the Holocaust Museum for Hope and Humanity. The museum's vision of building a just and caring community aligns with the goals of many nonprofits. The newly established Take Action Institute, overseen by a dedicated steering committee, provides mentoring, leadership development, and research resources to empower the next generation of changemakers.
