A photo of Kelly DeVries-Harbour, a Carleton University Philanthropy student.Kelly (she/her) is a passionate nonprofit professional with over fifteen years of experience managing people and programs. From a place of warmth and with a good amount of fun, Kelly is happiest when working alongside diverse stakeholders and staff to create meaningful change.

In her career, Kelly is driven by a desire to improve programs and processes in order to strengthen organizational efficiency and help organizations better deliver on their missions. Her past experience includes leading 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion training with Egale Canada, managing community engagement programs with Volunteer Toronto and managing a large program staff at the Nishnawbe Gamik Friendship Centre.

In her current role, she leads the national volunteer engagement strategy for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, driving organizational change and strengthening programs to increase community engagement and exceed fundraising targets.

Kelly believes that organizations thrive when staff, volunteers and donors are empowered, supported and clearly understand the impacts they’re making. Kelly looks forward to applying what she learns in the MPNL program to continue leading change in the sector and, ultimately, to help communities prosper.

On a sunny day, Kelly can be found at the beach, walking her dog or hosting a picnic with friends.
