Recommendation

Jeffrey W. Pryor and Alexandra Mitchell – job-placement professionals in the nonprofit world – discuss how to find a “compassionate career” working for a nonprofit or a “cause-driven” company. The US has an estimated 1.6 million tax-exempt nonprofit organizations that employ 13.7 million people. This equals roughly 10% of the nation’s workforce. Despite these statistics, most people don’t know they can earn a living while supporting causes that touch their hearts. This inspiring introduction to nonprofit careers profiles ordinary citizens as well as celebrities who found their calling in compassionate careers. It includes exercises to help you get started and offers sound practical advice. getAbstract recommends this manual to those seeking careers in the nonprofit sector and to cause-focused entrepreneurs.

Take-Aways

  • The nonprofit sector offers a growing number of “cause-driven” job opportunities.
  • Nonprofits support the arts, animals, health care, faith-based services, youth or senior services, the environment and nature, education, international aid, charity, and more.
  • Degrees that open doors at nonprofits include public administration, business administration, education, health and social work.
