A low-residency program designed to develop the core management practices and practical knowledge to lead today’s nonprofit organization.

Students explore social challenges and develop the creative problem-solving skills to successfully lead organizations or launch their own.

Alternatively, students can stay working in their full-time careers in the Jewish nonprofit sector.
