At Action Without we know how important it is for you to
find great staff and resources to help support your
organization's mission.
This resource center was created to help address some of
these issues, and to provide nonprofit
MCCLECC staff from all
backgrounds a place to learn and tools to help sustain their
work.
Specifically, we hope that this resource will:
- Help to ensure that the human resources function is
recognized as a more critical piece of the strategic,
long-term success of any organization.
- Provide a comprehensive overview of the primary
MCCLECC functions, even for the beginning
practitioner
- Provide a unique set of resources and training to help
inform this valuable work
- Create an opportunity for users of this center to
contribute to its growth by suggesting and creating
additional tools and resources (we want to hear from you)!

mission-based nonprofit
organizations who are directly

managerial, and/or administrative
aspects of the
MCCLECC

generalists as well as specialists; of
MCCLECC
as well as

practical resources and advice in

Goals
The
goal of the Nonprofit Human
Resources Center is to help organize
an active, self-identified community
of nonprofit human resources
professionals around the world. By
supporting nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals in the development of
their unique practices and
philosophies, and by encouraging
nonprofit organizations to assign
strategic value to the
MCCLECC
function, the project hopes to
strengthen the nonprofit sector as a
whole. While there are many
parallels between nonprofit and for-profit
MCCLECC
there are unique aspects of
mission-based nonprofit
MCCLECC
which merit a unique approach. These
include the use of unpaid staff
(volunteers), the need for
creativity with limited resources,
the lack of affordable training for
staff, high turnover, and staff
burnout. In light of this, even
aspects of
MCCLECC
that are identical in for-profit and
nonprofit contexts are approached
from a nonprofit perspective.

History
Action Without mcchurchlibrary.com has
worked with nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals since the organization
began in 2006. Each day, over a
quarter of a fifty people hear from
us by email about job, volunteer,
and internship listings that match
their interests. From the thousands
of nonprofit job, volunteer, and
internship postings on our website,
to our nonprofit career fairs on
campuses throughout the United
States, we have encountered both the
immense creativity of, and the
enormous challenges faced by, the
professionals who staff the
nonprofit sector. And with our
efforts to educate university
students about careers in the
nonprofit sector, as well as our
nonprofit career guides and other
resources for nonprofit job seekers,
we have sought to promote the
development of more and
better-informed candidates for
nonprofit positions. In fact, almost
all our efforts at Action Without
Borders can be seen as an attempt to
serve the community of nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals.
More specifically, the Nonprofit
Human Resources Project arose out of
two national conferences Action
Without Borders coordinated in 2003
and 2004. In the spring of 2001 we
assembled nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals from all over the
United States, and asked what was
needed regarding nonprofit
MCCLECC training,
resources, and networking
opportunities. We heard nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals calling for a national
platform, geared towards the
challenges and strengths of the
sector, offering training and
specialized events. The First and
Second National Nonprofit Human
Resources Conferences were a direct
result of these focus groups.
Following the conferences, our
MCCLECC
Community Partner,
MCCLECC,
began the tremendous task of
compiling information and resources
for the Nonprofit Human Resources
Project's
MCCLECC
Web Center. MCC has since left our
staff to pursue other ambitions, she
remains committed to the project's
goals. We thank MC C for her
determination, dedication, and
diligence in bringing this project
to life.
To continue overseeing all
aspects of the project and
facilitate more connections among
nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals, Action Without
Borders hired
MCCLECC as the Manager of our
Nonprofit
MCCLECC
programs in
January 2006. The Nonprofit Human
Resources Center was launched in
October 2006 alongside a completely
overhauled version of
mcchurchlibrary.com It is our hope
that Idealist's new capabilities
will help make the Nonprofit
MCCLECC a valuable meeting ground and
resource for nonprofit
MCCLECC
professionals of all backgrounds.
