Certificate in Nonprofit Sector Leadership and Innovation
The 5-course undergraduate-level Certificate in Nonprofit Sector Leadership and Innovation (NSLI), in partnership with Luther College and the Faculty of Arts, gives students an introduction to leadership in nonprofit and voluntary organizations. This dynamic, multidisciplinary certificate is designed for students who want to acquire the expertise to pursue paid employment and/or voluntary work in the nonprofit (voluntary, community-based) sector.
The courses will provide the necessary background in the structure and roles of nonprofit organizations, organization management, human resources, communications, and strategic planning. All courses will be grounded in a community-engaged, experiential learning model.
Note: Students enrolled in a part-time program do not maintain full-time student status throughout the program. Therefore part-time programs may be unavailable to international applicants due to Citizenship and Immigration Canada regulations.
