🌧The rain held off and we had a great time connecting NNGO students, interns, and staff with nonprofit partners this week at the Nonprofit Networking event! This is such a good opportunity for students to practice their social networking skills and to meet nonprofit professionals in a low-stress environment. Thanks to our partners at DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership for co-hosting the event with us!

Our super-cool volunteers and NNGO students help keep the Huskie Closet running smoothly, making sure that all NIU students have a dignified place to obtain free casual, business casual, and professional clothing. Your support helps keep this experiential learning project up and running! One of the best ways for students to learn about nonprofits is to participate and help run a nonprofit start-up. YOU can be part of the magic by supporting us! Please donate by NOON on April 2nd!
