GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — April is Volunteer Month and the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires is hosting a "Get on Board" event in partnership with Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.  

 

Get on Board takes place on Tuesday, April 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the lobby of the Tina Packer Playhouse at Shakespeare & Co. The purpose of this coffee networking event is to connect nonprofits to community members who want to use their time, talent and treasure to serve on a nonprofit board.

 

The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires also provides a personal matching service to help strengthen nonprofit boards. Both nonprofits and community members fill out a form identifying their needs and skills respectively. A team of volunteers reviews the confidential information and connects potential candidates to local organizations.

 

Those who have never served on a board can access "Intro to Board Service" videos free on the NPC web site. For more information about the event or to fill out the interest form, visit https://npcberkshires.org/join-a-board/ or call (413) 441-9542.
