So You Want to Work for a Nonprofit?

The number of inquiries we’ve been getting from people who want advice on how to find a job in the nonprofit sector, or are starting a nonprofit, has been increasing geometrically.  As our academic year draws to a close, we are reaching out to people who are considering a career in nonprofits to present a 1/2 day workshop that answers the question:  So You Want to Work in a Nonprofit?

This program, presented by Peter Doris, a human resources expert with more than 30 years experience in all aspects of the field, including career transition, from both the nonprofit and for-profit sides, will help clarify what’s involved in nonprofit work and whether you fit in.

  • Understanding the structure and dynamics of the nonprofit sector at all levels
  • Understanding how your knowledge, skills and attitudes might transfer to a nonprofit career
  • Understanding nonprofit governance and how it affects those who work in the sector
  • Understanding the fundamental role fundraising plays in all the nonprofit experience
  • Understanding how to develop a career search action plan.
