Are you interested in leading within a non-profit organization, or potentially starting your own? Each spring semester, the Student Engagement Office and the United Way of Story County co-sponsor the Non-Profit Protégé Program.
Undergraduate ISU students have the opportunity to walk in the shoes of an administrator of a local non-profit organization. Each protégé attends weekly meetings with their mentor throughout the semester. Protégés have opportunities to explore the non-profit world first hand by attending board meetings, experience staff and committee meetings, visit with potential financial donors, and witness the action-packed world of being a non-profit leader.
Get Started
Students must meet the following criteria to be selected for participation:
- Be a full-time undergraduate student at Iowa State University in the Spring semester of the program.
- Have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA.
Important Dates
Deadline to apply for the upcoming spring semester is Thursday, November 14th at 11:59pm.
