Here are my experiences with non-profits:
1) I'm currently a co-exec for a non-profit/student-run org at my university. A lot of the money and funding we receive are from the university's student government & student public service center. We train student volunteers to teach SAT prep classes for 10 weeks per semester in underserved high schools in the East Bay Area.
•No Pay
•Took ~2 years to earn my position (then again student life-span is roughly 4 years...only a matter of time till i got this position)
•Greatest reward is hearing back from former students about what colleges they got into etc etc.
•Dealing with for-profit test prep organizations can be a pain
•Takes a great deal of prep and consistency throughout the semester dealing with deadlines/emails/the university's policies etc
2) Also I'm interning over at this big urban planning & development non-profit. Facility is NIIIIIICCEEE I never thought non-profits could get pull till I came here.
•No Pay (but there is room for payed work...couldn't do it because of impeding school commitments)
•No real set task. Just go in a do whatever the hell they need me to do. I've done things from assisting in grant proposals to picking up flash drives to all over the city
•Meet a lot of cool people. The org's donors and board consists of people representing big companies and high ranking office personnel.

R Non-profit experiences vary like hell ***, I find my education work rewarding despite the no pay because it's what I love.

thnx 4 the info...
yeah im at a job i have now...so i guess i mine as well save in the mean time cause....
....untill i finish putting the plan together not to mention waiting for the irs to get back(which i've heard from several people could be 6 months to 2 years) and your not even guaranteed to get org set.
would my best bet for now be trying to i guess volunteer at a local 1 on the weekends or so for some type of experience? or try and actually get a real job with 1?

Try your local Foodbank if you want a great understanding of a Non-Profit org.
They also pay with full benefits plus it looks great on your resume

I work for a non profit cancer research and hospital. The structure is very complex as we house over 5k employees. The Philantropy dept is big and aggressive to ensure we get at least $100m donated per years.
People love working her because it's for a meaningful cause. I came from manufacturing, biotech, and the lab industry from the private sector if it matters.

I worked for a non profit endangered children's facility for two years. Over saw a 1.5 million dollar expansion and a $400,000 renovation and was in charge of $250,000 in revolving inventory. Never again will I work for a non profit, the CEO was making about 10% of what we pulled in from donations which needed up being over $125,000 a year for her. They took famous peoples money and lied about what they did with it right to their face. It was not pretty.
