HR Council for the Voluntary & Non-profit Sector - Your partner in developing a sustainable and vibrant non-profit workforce.

People in Nonprofits

The HR Council is honoured to share the stories of people working in nonprofits. With nearly 1.2 million people working in 69,000 organizations, the nonprofit sector is a dynamic, vibrant and meaningful place to work. Whether in the fields of art, culture, education, the environment, health, social development or sport - people and the organizations they work for across the sector share a common goal - to make a difference.


Why Nonprofit?

Video Interview Series

The nonprofit sector has career opportunities for almost every skill set, area of expertise and background. If you want a career as an accountant, coach, social worker, program manager, IT specialist, nurse or specialist in any of many other professions, there’s a job for you in a nonprofit.

Over the coming months, the HR Council will introduce you to five young nonprofit professionals who will share their insights on working and building a career in the nonprofit sector in a series of candid video interviews.
