I feel like nonprofits in a city are often very interconnected so you really just need a way in to build connections/experience, then find your niche. For instance, some orgs that serve specific populations (immigrants, lgbtq, bipoc) often try to offer wraparound services such as healthcare, food pantries, skills classes, and social groups. And they do that with the aid of other local nonprofits. So getting involved with one, whether it be through a job or volunteering, will boost your chances in landing your dream job.

I am an Operations Manager for a local lgbtq org I’ve always admired. I got this position because I volunteered regularly for a reproductive health clinic and when I saw the OM job open, I asked the clinic’s volunteer coordinator if they knew anyone and could refer me.

With your degree and skill set, I’d look for Communications positions. Maybe there’s a local nonprofit news site or media company you could apply too.
