National Student
Partnerships envisions a day when all people in our country will have the
opportunity to achieve economic independence and pursue their life goals. Their mission is to alleviate poverty in our communities by engaging our nation's
college students in this effort. NSP recruits and trains a diverse corps of
undergraduates who make a rigorous and sustained commitment to service while in
school. Their student advocates work side-by-side with low-income community
members, first helping them address immediate needs (e.g., employment, housing,
health care, public benefits, and/or education), then providing comprehensive,
long-term support designed to help families break the cycle of poverty.
Simultaneously, their student leaders gain the direct exposure, insight, and
compassion necessary to be lifelong advocates for systemic change on poverty
policy, regardless of the professional path they ultimately pursue. National Student Partnerships is currently hiring for a Regional Executive Director.

There's been a lot of news lately about recent college graduates gravitating to the nonprofit sector. However, entry-level nonprofit opportunities can be hard to find, as many of these jobs are not always advertised through campus career centers or online job boards.
Class of '09, fear not. The opportunities are there if you do your homework and know where to look. To help steer you in the right direction, this month's article highlights a few examples of nonprofits that regularly offer entry-level opportunities.
Also in this newsletter, you'll find links to our current nonprofit searches, from entry-level to senior management, as well as the latest news from our blog and information about career-related events in the sector.
