About Institute for Nonprofit Practice

The Institute for Nonprofit Practice is a learning organization.

We envision providing a learning environment where interns gain valuable professional skills,  practical job experience, and personal development, while expanding the capacity of the departments and areas of work within which they focus and contributing significantly to INP’s mission to transform the nonprofit and social impact sector.  This year as we grow, we aim to establish an expanded internship program to include a larger group along with group learning and collaborative project work.
