I’ve been able to take what I’ve learned in the NSLI Certificate and put it towards my community- focused work. My prior experience in the nonprofit sector was complemented very well with the education I received in the program, and getting to learn from accomplished nonprofit leaders and alongside fellow aspiring changemakers was an amazing opportunity. As a dedicated advocate and community worker, the knowledge I gained and connections I made through the program have been priceless.”
