VMG in partnership with Hostos Community College is launcing a Volunteer Management Certificate Program. Students will develop the skills and strategies they need to become an integral part of one of America’s fastest growing service sectors. The Volunteer Management Certificate provides entry-and middle-level nonprofit employees the opportunity to develop new skill sets to move within or beyond their current organizations. This program is also excellent for those looking to transition their career into volunteer management in the nonprofit sector.

Courses are taught on-site at Hostos Community College, 500 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY, by VMG’s qualified instructors with extensive experience in the discipline they are teaching.
