The purpose of TUJ¡Çs NEW International Collaboration on Nonprofit/ NGO Management Program is to prepare community members interested in the work of nonprofit NGOs alongside nonprofit professionals in the US and Japan. Guest speakers from both countries will help prepare participants to serve in our increasingly complex and connected world. Through engaging discussions, sharing with specialists and the use of technology, the NGO Management Certificate Program at TUJ and the Nonprofit Evaluation, Services and Training Program (NEST) at Temple University Harrisburg Campus (TUH) will collaborate on two courses each year to develop intellectual exchange with peers and colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Participants will gain a deeper understanding and wider perspective on topics such as current issues in development, leadership, grant writing, financial management, program management and human resources and help them to take on more active roles within their organizations or communities. The program will offer a rare opportunity for participants seeking a more global perspective on the nonprofit sector.
