This is part of a course that will take place over four Saturdays (10/3, 10/17, 11/7 and 11/14) at locations around Southern VT. Details, course content, and application form can be found at https://www.sovermontzone.com/get-on-board. Need a scholarship or help finding a sponsor? Let us know as part of the application.
For participants new to community service in a Vermont context, or who are taking the class to find their direction in community service, we recommend taking the full 4 course series. For those who have a specific interest or project in mind, it might make sense to drop in for a single workshop. Please indicate your interest in the form. While we give admission priority to those who are joining the full cohort, there is almost always room for additional attendees each time!
- Sat, 10/3, 10am – 3pm: Working Together as a Community (Townshend, Town Hall)
- Sat, 10/17, 10am-3pm: Local Government in Vermont (Manchester, Town Offices)
- Sat, 11/7, 10am-3 pm: Non Profit Boards/Local Leaders Panel (Wilmington, Memorial Hall)
- Sat, 11/14, 12pm-5pm: Taking Action and Deepening Your Impact (Putney, Community Center)
In the third session of SoVT Get on Board, you’ll dig deep into the role of nonprofit organizations in Vermont communities, and learn more about the function of non profit boards. Best practices, common pitfalls, and when, why, and how to start a new organization (or sunset one that has served its purpose) will be covered by nonprofit consultant Sage Ruth of the organization Structural Integrity. After lunch, a panel of local leaders from Southern Vermont will share insights into their leadership journey – this panel has been a fan favorite for previous Get on Board participants!
