In this half day class we will discuss the different types of non-profit organizations, how they work (and don't work) and what makes a strong organization. Whether you are a part of a non-profit as a staff member or volunteer, this course will give you loads of best practice information. You leave the course with ideas to make your non-profit stronger, or how you could be a better board member or volunteer. Understanding the vast differences of an organization from the ground level, plus a little common sense, will make you an asset to your organization.
