Interested in contributing to the changing socio-political-economic landscape?  Do you have dormant talents waiting to be released?  Are you looking for new and creative outlets?  Are you eager to build a new set of skills so you can contribute to building innovative and robust human systems for the new economy?  Want to pursue further education?  

We’d like to invite you to join our many initiatives at Penn.

Here is an unusual opportunity: a Master’s program in the Leadership of Nonprofits and NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations).  Penn has full-time and part-time options. 

Participants in our program are preparing to join a fast growing cadre of enterprising social entrepreneurs deeply committed to social change, social justice and social impact. They come from, and enter, many different kinds of organizations (nonprofits, social enterprises, international NGOs, educational systems, businesses, civic associations, government, social service agencies, art and cultural institutions, foundations, advocacy and volunteer organizations). 

Students from multiple graduate degree programs at Penn take our Leadership for Social Change courses.

Are you

• On the cusp of discovering the leadership capabilities within you?
• Preparing for a career in the nonprofit or NGO sector?
• A professional in the areas of business, law, social work, education, health care, and others longing for a mid-career shift into social enterprises?
• Wanting to master the arts of cross-sector collaboration?
• An employee being groomed for future leadership responsibilities?
• An individual with a little work experience and a passion to make a difference?

Then this program has been designed for you!
