Standing Out: How Young Nonprofit Workers Can Get Ahead of the Competition
Tuesday, March 3, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time
Young nonprofit employees who had hoped to assume leadership roles at their organizations are wondering what this means for them — and trying to determine how they can move forward with their careers.
How can young nonprofit employees move up the ladder during tough economic times? How can they assert themselves as leaders in their organizations? What resources exist to help young workers develop?
