Parent Annual Funds At Work
December 23rd, 2008American Humanics Management Institute Preparing Students For Non-Profit Careers
Fresno State’s American Humanics Program is available for students of all majors who seek careers serving others. Each year, the students in the program are required to attend a three-day, intensive learning experience in Kansas City, MO as the capstone of their coursework. It is part of the requirement to graduate with the AH Certificate and eventually find a job as a director of a nonprofit service agency. This year the program director raised enough funds to send 15 of the 19 students to the seminar, but his funds fell short by some $4,000. Together with Friends for Civic
Engagement, the Parents Association paid for the remaining 4 students to attend the seminar.
