The Nonprofit Sector in the American Political System

Case Western Reserve University - OH, Ohio

“”The Nonprofit Sector in the American Political System”" encourages students to examine nonprofit organizations within historical and political contexts. The class, offered for the first time during the fall of 1994, was an adaptation of a graduate course at Case Western Reserve University (“”Introduction to the Nonprofit Sector”") that was revised to produce a course for undergraduates with community service experience. Through the collaboration of members of the history department, the university’s Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations and the director of student community service, the Caser Western course examined the constitutional and political roles of volunteer service and nonprofit organizations.
