What We Offer
Certificate Programs
Nonprofit Austin offers several Certificates in critical areas of nonprofit practice. We recognize many nonprofit practitioners and volunteer leaders come to their work through passion, rather than by way of a formal education that has taught individuals how to effectively lead, manage, and manifest their passion.
Nonprofit Austin is looking to bridge this educational gap for those working within the Central Texas nonprofit sector and beyond. Our Certificates offer a systematic and comprehensive approach to learning, which focuses on participants becoming more self-aware, confident, and reflective leaders. Further, we aim to strengthen their sense of professionalism, commitment and passion as they continue to grow their responsibility and authority within the nonprofit sector.
Our Certificate faculty are impassioned experts with extensive experience in their specific areas of practice. Each is an ardent advocate of the effective nonprofit principles and practices, and seek to impart this knowledge to all Certificate participants.
