Why a Nonprofit Career?
The nonprofit sector is a huge arena where individuals develop long-term careers and report high-levels of satisfaction.
Increased growth and competition for qualified staff has encouraged competitive salaries and benefit packages in the nonprofit sector.
Just as in the for-profit sector, nonprofit opportunities vary greatly and salaries can range from $30,000 to $90,000 and greater.
Top leaders of nonprofit agencies can earn up to a national average of $60,000 to $80,000, while lower level nonprofit managers can earn $45,000 to $55,000.
There are thousands of nonprofit agencies in the Mid-South that serve in a variety of areas, like the arts, social welfare, and community development.
Several nonprofit agencies in the Mid-South have employed AH students in internships and full-time positions. |
