So without knowing the details, I'd say no, it's not legal. Technically it’s against the CANSPAM act, as you did not register to receive his information, and you didn’t double opt-in.

If you didn't agree to be solicited by this guy you should report him as a spammer and block his email. If he's still working for this NPO and they find out he's spamming people he will be gone in a flash. Also you should check these people out and make sure they're legit. Something doesn't sound right about the whole thing. There are a lot of con artists out there that prey on students. Be careful.
