GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. – April is Volunteer Month and the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires is hosting their 3rd annual "Get on Board" event, sponsored by Beacon Bank. 

Get on Board takes place on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 11a.m. in the lobby of the Tina Packer Playhouse at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox. The purpose of the networking event is to connect nonprofits to people who want to use their time, talent and treasure to serve on a nonprofit board.

The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires also provides a complementary and personal year round 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.  Since its inception in 2023, over 35 board matches have been made across the county. The in person event happens once a year. Breakfast treats and coffee provided.

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 visit https://npcberkshires.org/join-a-board/ or email info@npcberkshires.org. The event is FREE for the public to attend.
