Leading Nonprofits

Leading Nonprofit Organizations is designed for those interested in leading and managing a nonprofit organization. It takes a practitioner's perspective on strategic realities of modern practice. Each section will seek to rapidly orient a new manager to the complexities, strategic issues, & politics. The course is taught through a combination of theory and practice using selected readings, lectures, guest presentations, group activities (Mock senior staff discussions), and field assignments (pairing with area nonprofit leader and attendance at one of the organization's board meetings).

This course has seats reserved for Fels' students and gives priority to grad students. Non-Fels students should contact Mindy Zacharjasz at mindyzac@sas.upenn.edu to request a permit.

This is a "hybrid" course, with synchronous, online meetings and once-monthly, on-campus meetings in Philadelphia, PA. Also, please note there is an additional $150 online course fee.
