The NUF program matches multi-ethnic, multicultural mid-career women and men with nonprofit and government organizations across the country, with the goal of fostering leadership skills. Fellows receive a Master of Public Administration degree upon completion of their mentorships and academic requirements. NYHealth’s participation in the NUF program helps prepare potential leaders who are interested in pursuing careers in philanthropy and the health care industry. Each year since 2006, a NUF fellow has worked with staff at NYHealth on several projects designed specifically for their mentorship year.
