THE BRIDGE

This dynamic training program is designed to give you the basics in nonprofit and government board service. Step on up!

 

The course

In a series of trainings, you'll learn about roles and responsibilities of nonprofit and public board members in addition to completing personal skill and interest assessments. The Bridge coursework focuses on:

- financial and legal responsibilities
- governance structures
- fundraising and public budgeting
- personal reflection

Following the training, we connect you with board opportunities. You may also decide that board service isn't for you. But at least you'll know!

Already sitting on a board or have an MPA?

The Bridge is an introductory course - if you have an MPA or have already served on a nonprofit board, this might not be the class for you.

A great local resource for additional board training is www.uwkc.org/nonprofit/governance. This page includes online resources and a link to United Way of King County's training schedule.
