Solving the Biggest Challenges for NGO Startups
At Dos Corrientes, we understand the struggles of launching and sustaining an NGO because we’ve been there. Our leadership team—seasoned entrepreneurs with a track record of building successful businesses and a thriving nonprofit—has tackled the toughest challenges facing NGO startups.
Now, we’re sharing that knowledge through practical, experience-driven educational content designed for global studies students and aspiring NGO founders. In partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley, we’re developing high-quality courses that bridge the gap between theory and real-world execution.
