► HIRE A PROINSPIRE FELLOW
ProInspire is inviting nonprofits in Washington D.C. to request a 2012 ProInspire Fellow. This year ProInspire will have two classes - Spring Fellows will start in April and Fall Fellows will start in August. Typical ProInspire Fellows have 2-5 years of work experience at top-tier consulting firms, investment banks, and corporations, and are looking to build a career in the social sector. Fellows spend one year working in a strategic, analytical or marketing role at a nonprofit organization in the Washington D.C. region. ProInspire provides training and ongoing coaching support to ensure Fellows’ successful transition into the social sector. ProInspire's nonprofit partners rave about their ProInspire Fellows, and 100% of last year's partners said they planned to retain their Fellow or hire a new one in the future. Learn more about hiring a ProInspire Fellow on their website, or by sending an email.
