On-Site Group Education
Building Skills and Competency for Groups: Staff, Board, Volunteers, Associations & Members
The Nonprofit Center can work with you to tailor any educational program to fit your unique organization, staff, volunteers, board, membership or association. We bring the education and training on-site to accommodate your scheduling needs and budgetary restrictions.

“On-site group education is wonderful. PYSC was able to choose our favorite Nonprofit Center course, Effective Nonprofit Governance, and have it presented to our members at our office. This was convenient, cost-effective and allowed our members the chance to ask individual and personalized questions. Having {the facilitator} speak directly to our members was so valuable and we’re still hearing great feedback. Even our most mature and experienced nonprofit members said this course should be required for everyone in our sector.”
-Jessie Dean, Member Program and Administrative Coordinator, Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative
