Young nonprofit workers are often frustrated by the notion that charities and foundations rarely offer clearly defined career paths.

In a new book, Trista Harris and Rosetta Thurman, two young nonprofit workers, provide the sort of career guidance they wished they had received.

How to Become a Nonprofit Rockstar: 50 Ways to Accelerate Your Career offers advice on moving beyond the bottom rungs at a nonprofit to a position of leadership.
