Nonprofit Career Fair in Boston

Idealist.org is co-sponsoring a Nonprofit Career Fair in Boston on Tuesday, February 5th from 12pm – 4pm. The free
event is hosted by Boston University's Community Service Center, and will be held at Boston University’s George Sherman Union, at 775 Commonwealth Avenue.

This free career fair, for which 110 organizations have already signed up, is a great opportunity to learn about a wide variety of
jobs, internships, volunteer positions, and fellowships in the nonprofit sector. If you have been meaning to volunteer somewhere but haven't gotten around to it, or if you are thinking of a career in the nonprofit sector, this is a great chance to see what opportunities are out there in the Boston area.

Jillian Glazer, of Idealist.org goes on to say:
"People from every experience level, including undergraduate and grad-school students, experienced professionals (both from within the nonprofit sector and those transitioning from business and government), as well as other members of the community are welcome to attend.

For more information, and to register (it's free, but we need to know how many people to expect), please go to:

The 2008 Boston Nonprofit Career Fair is co-sponsored by the Brandeis University Hiatt Career Center, and this year our national series of Idealist Career Fairs is generously sponsored by e - NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service - and by Commongood Careers.
