Nonprofit Management Institute
The Nonprofit Management Institute is an educational and training program designed to meet the professional development needs of local nonprofit professionals and maximize their impact in serving our community. Participants in this six-month program will focus on specific topics in nonprofit management and organizational development, which may be put to immediate use. These practical skills are designed to help participants enhance the capacity of their organizations.
The Institute is made possible through a collaborative effort of the Hayden-Harman Foundation, High Point University, and the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium. The Institute will be hosted and facilitated by High Point University (HPU) and the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium. The Department of Human Relations, Sociology and Nonprofit Studies at HPU will provide a participatory hands-on training and development curriculum that will be utilized as the primary resource for the participants’ professional development experience.
Classes will be taught by Pamela Palmer, professor of nonprofit leadership and management at High Point, at the university's state-of-the-art facilities. Total class hours for the program will be almost 50. Participants can use up to 30 hours of this course work for credit, that can be applied toward the Duke Nonprofit Management Certificate* offered by Duke University Continuing Studies.
