Certificate Overview
The Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership (CNL) addresses various aspects of leadership that every member of your organization, from on-the-ground volunteers to Executive Directors, face on a daily basis. It offers guidance and strategies on leadership and performance expectations in times of change, strategic management models, the responsibilities of and how to engage volunteer board members, measuring success, and employing situational leadership as a tool to develop team members. Though a faculty instructor guides learners through each educational module, participants also critique articles, listen to lectures, and engage with their cohort to share insight on real-world nonprofit and public service scenarios.
Your experience within our online classroom will be a blend of graduate-level education with an applied perspective to utilize learnings to benefit personal aspirations and organizational professional commitments. The academic content is based on decades of experience from leaders in public administration education and the design reflects what we believe, addresses the most vital current and future competencies for public service leaders.
