CURATED BOOK LIST FOR NONPROFIT PROFESSIONALS:

Continuing education (via courses, workshops and books) has helped me to grow on both a professional and a personal level. As a nonprofit professional,  continuing education has helped me to stay abreast of emerging trends in the nonprofit sector, and to also gain new tools to better engage service users. Moreover, in addition to being a life long learner, I also love to share. So, with this in mind, I have compiled the following list of recommended books, for helping professionals with an interest in promoting smarter and more culturally congruent and inclusive programs and services.
