China Nonprofit Organization Leadership Visitor Program

The Domain for Nonprofit Organizations in China has created the China Nonprofit Organization Leadership Visitor Program to provide a platform at Harvard University for visiting nonprofit leaders from China to interact with scholars and students from Harvard University, and other universities at the Greater Boston area.

Visiting China nonprofit organization leaders can stay at Harvard University for up to a week for interacting with scholars and students. During their stay, the Domain will actively undertake the following approaches to facilitate the interactions:
• Organizing public speaking event
• Facilitating individual faculty and NPO leader meeting
• Creating students and NPO leader discussion group
• Holding Job, internship and volunteer opportunity event
• Coordinating NPO leader issue consultation session with selected scholars
• Facilitating site visits to local American organizations by visiting China NPO leaders

The benefits go two ways. On the one hand, the Chinese nonprofit leaders will gain access to leading scholars from a broad range of disciplines at Harvard University and beyond. The opportunities to reflect and learn with leading scholars will help them on managing their organizations back home.

Having strategically positioned as an interdisciplinary center at the university level, Hauser has built, over the last decade, collaborative relations with different schools and departments at Harvard on topics relating to nonprofit organizations. To enhance the China nonprofit organization leaders’ knowledge exposure, Hauser Center will help bridge the nonprofit leaders to:

1. Scholars with expertise in nonprofit organizations in general
2. Scholars familiar with cases and best practices of nonprofit organizations from other part of the world
3. Scholars with insights and understanding into the Chinese society, politics, culture and history in general

On the other hand, students and scholars at Harvard University, and other universities in the Greater Boston Area will gain first-hand exposure to the reality of the rising nonprofit sector in China. The knowledge and connection gained from the interaction will help with the scholar’s academic exploration, research, internship or career orientation.
