The Maryville College Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (NLA) hosted its annual Nonprofit Fair on Thursday, February 23, in the William Baxter Lee III Grand Foyer of the Clayton Center for the Arts.
Members of the public were invited to attend the event, which took place from noon to 3 p.m., in order to learn about nonprofit missions, service and volunteer opportunities, internships, and employment.
Approximately 40 East Tennessee nonprofit organizations attended, including A Place to Stay, Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians, Young Life, Good Neighbors of Blount County, Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center, Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont and Youth Villages.
The fair is an annual event for the College’s Center for Community Engagement and is planned by students in the Maryville College Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (NLA) program. Proceeds from the agency registration fees help NLA students prepare for professional careers in nonprofit management.
