Nonprofit Employment and Volunteerism in Life's Next Chapter 
This Dowling College course is designed for individuals seeking greater purpose and meaning in their lives by transferance of their private-sector skills and experiences into the nonprofit sector.  Students are assisted to: conduct self-assessments; learn about the history of nonprofits and the important role they play in society; understand the legal and governance of nonprofits; be advocates for those in need; dispel the myths and assumptions concerning nonprofits;  adjust to sector-switching; to prepare for interviews; and locate nonprofit organizations where they will be welcomed and where they are needed to apply their interests and skill sets.  
The 8-week, 24 hour, non-credit, Certificate-bearing course will begin April 29 and continue to June 17 on Wednesday evenings from 6:30PM to 9:00PM at the Dowling Institute in Melville.
