Comments on: Where is a good resource to search employment opportunities with non-profits? http://job-search-daily.com/where-is-a-good-resource-to-search-employment-opportunities-with-non-profits Resources and News to help you find a job. Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:52:03 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: K http://job-search-daily.com/where-is-a-good-resource-to-search-employment-opportunities-with-non-profits/comment-page-1#comment-364 K Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:17:43 +0000 http://job-search-daily.com/where-is-a-good-resource-to-search-employment-opportunities-with-non-profits#comment-364 I would suggest looking at national associations in your field (ex: for public relation - Public Relations Society of America...American Marketing Association, etc..) and craigslist.org if you have not already. You may also be able to find opportunities on job boards of universities that have a "non-profit type" graduate program such as Public Administration, Non-Profit Mgmt, Dual MSW/MBA, etc. Also, if you contact faculty within a social work academic department in LA, they will probably know of additional resources/websites to check out. Another option may be to check out organizations within the Americorps program. I am guessing that you are not looking to start at the level that they are typically looking for/rate of pay but the website does allow you to check out organizations within your field of interest. As I have done research with organizations in the Americorp program, I have often found full-time, regular opportunities. (United Way is also a source to find out links to local non-profits.)
