IMO,...
I was speaking to a job seeker last night and mentioned to him the website Jobs That Serve - Milwaukee http://epic.cuir.uwm.edu/entech/jobs/ - He hadn't heard of it and while I think it's pretty well known, I didn't want to miss an opportunity to share something that might help others.
Remember, Non-Profits don't have a lot of money to advertise, so looking on their website directly is advisable as well. Another way to cultivate leads like these is to search on Linkedin - not just their job board, but within your contacts...you can never tell if you will have a 2nd or 3rd degree contact at the Non-Profit you are dying to work for!
A little on the 101 side, but even if you find a posted position (on a company website, job board, etc) use your Linkedin site to determine if you know anyone there that can recommend you, serve as a reference or give you some intel on the company/organization culture.
People want to help you, but you have to tell them how! Like the Yellow Brick Road, job search is scary, uncertain and long, but there are people along the way who can help!
You can do this!
