The mission of The Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management at North Park University is to enhance performance and effectiveness of organizations and individuals in the nonprofit sector through education, service and resources.
We offer a variety of programs for professionals who work, volunteer or are transitioning into the nonprofit sector. These include half-day and full-day professional development workshops, an annual symposium, a BootCamp for New Nonprofit CEOs, custom designed workshops for your organization, networking opportunities and some no-cost programs. We also offer a quarterly newsletter and an online portal for further resources.
