NLA as a UNI Student Association

The UNI Student Association Nonprofit Leadership Alliance meets weekly. Activities include implementing the UNI Volunteer Fair and the Cedar Valley Nonprofit Awards Luncheon, collaborating with nonprofit organizations in the Cedar Valley, raising funds for student projects, taking field trips to nonprofits around the state, networking with professionals, and having fun!  Feel free to look around and find out more about what we do, who our current officers and director’s team are, committee descriptions, student opportunities, and other great information.

The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance was established at the University of Northern Iowa in 1988, and continues to be the only chapter in Iowa to this day.
