Julayne Virgil, Girls Inc. of Alameda County

Julayne Virgil, CEO of Girls Inc. of Alameda County, discusses the difference between scaling social services versus ramping up the production of objects. When the goal isn’t necessarily about outcomes, but simply how many people you interact with, resource allocation gets messy. The time, energy and intensity needed to help others aren’t resources that can be easily portioned, Virgil explains.
