Individual Membership

BNID’s membership program brings together individuals and organizations in Greater Boston to support deeper connection and exchange. Our thriving community serves as a bridge between professionals working in the non-profit sector, public sector, private sector, consulting, philanthropy, academia and others concerned with issues of international development and global justice.

Together with our members, we design a range of workshops, resources, and discussion spaces to support professional development, career advancement, and stronger relationships across our network. This includes member-identified priorities such as skills-based trainings, roundtable discussions on current events, networking opportunities, and more.

Our membership program fosters more robust relationships among Boston-based professionals and organizations and seeks to break down siloes across sectors and geographies.

**BNID’s individual membership program is intended professionals and graduate students with experience in the international development sector.
