Non Profit Jobs
If you are thinking about joining the nonprofit workforce and are looking for a great job, now is an ideal time to polish up your resume and start applying! There have never been more opportunities for bright, passionate people who want to work with people who are looking for jobs that can help them change the world. But how do you know where to start, or what steps to take to achieve your nonprofit career goals? How can we even define a nonprofit job?
This type of work exists in organizations that fall into a number of categories, including educational organizations, environmental organizations, human services, arts organizations, and many more.
These jobs can be from working with people on the ground all the way to overseeing entire agencies in upper management. Each of these jobs is an essential part of making the services and programs available to those who need them.
There are many qualities that employers are looking for in a nonprofit worker, including some of the same qualities that you will find in the for-profit world. But the theme that you will see come up again and again in your job search is commitment: to the cause, to the organization, and to living a life that values social change. These are the things that most nonprofit organizations were founded on, and most organizations will look for employees who share similar values. This does not mean that in a nonprofit context you have to agree with everything that goes on – to the contrary, you will find that challenging norms and engaging in debate is often encouraged at nonprofit organizations!
