Taylor Non-Profit Practicum

3 units

The Taylor Non-Profit Practicum connects students with local and regional nonprofit organizations that play a critical role in the vitality of their communities. In this experiential learning course, students work in teams in a consultative, client-engaged capacity to address real strategic and operational challenges facing nonprofit organizations, applying academic concepts to inform real-world decisions under faculty guidance. Students engage in essential organizational work—clarifying goals, identifying priorities, analyzing information, and developing practical, decision-relevant recommendations within resource-constrained environments. Through this process, students gain a more nuanced understanding of nonprofit organizations as strategic, data-informed enterprises and build confidence operating in complex settings where impact depends on judgment, prioritization, and execution.
