Nonprofit Leadership Programme

Nonprofit Leadership Programme

The Borgen Project invites applicants for a part-time, 12‑hour per week, 12‑week unpaid remote programme that offers insight into the key skills required to lead and develop a nonprofit organisation.

From CNN to The Huffington Post, the world is talking about the innovative movement that is downsizing global poverty. The Borgen Project believes that leaders of the most powerful nations should do more to address global poverty. The national campaign works to make poverty a focus of U.S., Canadian and U.K. foreign policy.

• Recruitment – Update job postings; inform groups and classes of openings, introduction to recruitment platforms and listen in to interviews.
