Learn to Lead Nonprofit Organizations
Leadership in organizations that utilize volunteers is different from the corporate world, where the power of a manager's position can be used to motivate employees. This three-course graduate-level certificate is intended for executives, managers, and other professionals from the nonprofit, public, or civic sectors who want to enhance their ability to lead volunteers using the power of mutual influence.
Public leadership certificate credits can later be used towards completion of a master’s degree in the UMass Global School of Business and Professional Studies. To further expand your overall leadership skills, you may also want to consider the Graduate Certificate in Organizational Leadership.
In this Nonprofit Leadership Certificate program, you will:
- Develop leadership skills to motivate and inspire volunteers in organizations.
- Expand communication skills specifically for assessing constituency needs and negotiating aims of stakeholders.
- Analyze and apply ethical principles to contemporary leadership conflicts.
