Former Non-Profit Administrator

Don’t wait - get started now! Time will pass whether or not you start studying, so you might as well start now. You won’t regret it! The community it so supportive and even if it seems too hard at first, it will start to “click” faster than you’d think.

It will be challenging and you will definitely experience highs and lows. But if you are persistent, trust yourself, allow yourself to feel your feelings and keep in mind that YOU'VE GOT THIS, then you will succeed.

Showcase your nonprofit sector knowledge on LinkedIn and in interviews, look for a role that works specifically with nonprofits, and start studying Nonprofit Cloud the moment you're done the Admin Certification.
