Training Opportunities

Get On Board! 

Are you interested in developing leadership skills while helping to govern one of our area's nonprofit agencies? Many community organizations working hard in service to our region are facing enormous challenges and are seeking energetic, talented and qualified leaders to help them achieve their mission.

In response to this significant community need, the Volunteer Center is pleased to introduce Get On Board!, a two hour course that focuses on training volunteers for nonprofit board membership. Participants in the two hour course will be given an overview of board roles and responsibilities, financial policies, legal considerations, developing strategic plans, and effective leadership skills. At the conclusion of the course, successful training participants will be given a list of board positions available at local nonprofit organization and will be registered on our online matching database.

The next Get On Board! session is:

We meet at the Volunteer Center, 317 4th Ave E, Olympia. Cost is $30 per person; scholarships available, and discounts available when registering multiple people from the same agency.

To register, fill out a registration form. For more information, email emma@volunteer.ws.
