Good luck! I understand your frustration--I'm in a different field that works primarily within nonprofits as well.

I went to a Big State University. 5 years after graduating I was still able to use the school's career office, as an alumnus. I don't know if every school has such a deal, but it's worth looking into. I paid for the service but it wasn't very expensive.
And while you don't have an advisor of your own you can contact people in a field that interests you and ask them questions. Before deciding on going back to school I probably called up 10-20 people who wrote articles that interested me to ask them about the awesome work they were doing and what steps it would take for me to get to where they were. These days email would probably suffice, depending on the person. Give them plenty of time to answer.
Whatever specific program you decide upon will determine which relevant classes you need, if any. Decide what you want to do first and then take classes only if you need them. That stuff can get expensive in a hurry.
