Career Resources for Nonprofit, Government, and Education

This section is aimed at careers in non-profit, government, and education. Resources for careers in sustainability and for health care and healing are covered separately.

Portland/Metro Area: General

  • www.cnrg-portland.org. CNRG is an excellent resource for nonprofit job seekers. Subscribers to this listserv receive daily notification by e-mail of job openings, classes, events and other issues of interest to people seeking alternative careers.
  • portland.craigslist.org. A large proportion of jobs posted elsewhere show up on Craigslist within a few days. However, it is frustrating that many jobs do not identify the employer.
  • www.indeed.com. Indeed seems to review and compile listings from other major traditional job sites, like Monster.com. I recommend trying it for a few weeks and seeing if you can save time by dropping Jobdango, Monster, etc.
  • meetgoodwill.org/job-connection/ Goodwill Job Connection has many free resources  and skill building opportunities for job seekers in Portland.
  • hatchthefuture.org Hatch is a co-working space for social and environmental entrepreneurs with a community of experts dedicated to helping you "hatch your next big idea."
  • www.nonprofitoregon.org The Nonprofit Association of Oregon (formerly TACS) provides networking opportunities, training, and in-depth support to nonprofit leaders and job seekers.

 

Portland/Metro Area: Development

  • www.wvdo-or.org. Willamette Valley Development Officers sponsors this site that has the most comprehensive local listing of jobs in development, including event planning, fundraising and grant writing.

 

Portland/Metro Area: Government
