UND’s Nonprofit Leadership Program will host the first nonprofit opportunity fair on Oct. 23. The fair will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Memorial Union and is free to students.

The Nonprofit Leadership Program is hoping this fair will allow nonprofits in Grand Forks to share career, volunteer and internship opportunities.

Registration for the fair was free and closed on Sept. 22. So far, no report of how many organizations have signed up has been released.

Students who are familiar with the program know the great opportunities it can provide to students. By preparing students to work in the nonprofit sector, it gives hands-on experience and always tries to help students more. The opportunity fair will give students another way to meet and network with professionals in the nonprofit sector.

The fair will be a great chance for students to get their name out there for internships this upcoming year. If the first fair goes well, NLP will be up for setting up more opportunities to help out students not only in nonprofit, but also for job opportunities.

Students who are interested in attending should bring their student ID to the union on the day of the event for free admission. NLP encourages students to dress in business casual attire and bring cards with contact information or a resume.
