Certificate in Non Governmental Organizations and Nonprofit Studies

The Certificate in NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) and Nonprofit Studies at KPU is unique to this region. It is distinct from other nonprofit management programs in that it offers the following:

30-credit program available directly out of high school
Program structure that bridges the Faculty of Arts, the School of Business, and the Faculty of Science and Horticulture
Broad inclusion of local human rights, environmental, and advocacy organizations in B.C.'s Lower Mainland
Our program recognizes the depth of learning that can take place right here in greater Vancouver. Graduates from our program use their experience and knowledge to work for nonprofit organizations, businesses, and social enterprises both in Canada and around the world. KPU identifies with the innovation characteristic of this sector and is eager to move a new generation of learners into work in this area.

The educational experience is designed to address the NACC (Nonprofit Academic Centers Council) Curricular Guidelines for Undergraduate Study in Nonprofit Leadership, the Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy (2007). It prepares students for entry-level work at nonprofit organizations and NGOs. Students will acquire practical and up-to-date skills, including an introduction to Imagine Canada's Standards Program, Canada Revenue Agency guidelines for the nonprofit sector, and the following skills and methods:

Skill sets: Marketing, minute-taking, database work, presenting, reporting, academic research and writing, literature reviews, fundraising principles, social return on investment analysis, grant writing
Methods: Participant-observation, qualitative methods, interviewing, cross-cultural understanding, face-to-face field methods, mapping, critical analysis, ethics and advocacy
Nonprofit organizations and NGOs serve a broad mandate, providing understanding and solutions to humanitarian issues, environmental problems, human rights, development efforts, and the problems experienced by marginalized populations. There is an increasing move towards professionalization in this area, and KPU's targeted introduction to disciplines in the Faculty of Arts, the School of Business, and the Faculty of Science and Horticulture ensures that graduates have covered comparative perspectives on civil society, voluntary action and philanthropy, as well as key aspects of financial management and accountability.
