Inspire Fellows Program
http://www.proinspire.org
ProInspire recruits outstanding business professionals to spend one year working in a strategic or analytical role at a nonprofit or public-sector organization in Washington D.C.  We provide training and professional development to help Fellows successfully transition into the social sector and build a network.  Through this program, ProInspire aims to build analytical capacity in nonprofit organizations, and to expand the talent pool in the sector.

Who is an Inspire Fellow?
Typical Inspire Fellows have 2-5 years work experience at top-tier consulting firms, investment banks, private equity firms and corporations –and are looking to build a career in the social sector.  Finalists for the 2009 class came from Bain, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and other top firms.  See bios of the 2009 Inspire Fellows: http://www.proinspire.org/fellows/2009-fellows
