Where is a good resource to search employment opportunities with non-profits?

by

I am hoping to move from the corporate sector into non-profit work. I live in Los Angeles and would like to start exploring opportunities domestically and internationally. Thanks!

  • I would suggest looking at national associations in your field (ex: for public relation – Public Relations Society of America…American Marketing Association, etc..) and craigslist.org if you have not already.

    You may also be able to find opportunities on job boards of universities that have a “non-profit type” graduate program such as Public Administration, Non-Profit Mgmt, Dual MSW/MBA, etc. Also, if you contact faculty within a social work academic department in LA, they will probably know of additional resources/websites to check out.

    Another option may be to check out organizations within the Americorps program. I am guessing that you are not looking to start at the level that they are typically looking for/rate of pay but the website does allow you to check out organizations within your field of interest. As I have done research with organizations in the Americorp program, I have often found full-time, regular opportunities. (United Way is also a source to find out links to local non-profits.)

    Good luck with your transition!
