We are excited to launch the first in a series of FREE capacity building workshops with the Rollins Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership.
These workshops are part of the larger Agency Benefit Program (ABP) that Second Harvest rolled out last year. The purpose of the Agency Benefit Program is simple – to get more nutritious food out to people in our communities by supporting capacity building best practices over time. We recognize the HUGELY important role volunteers play in most of your operations, which is why that’s our first topic!
“Volunteer Management 101” will take place at Second Harvest Food Bank (411 Mercy Drive Orlando FL 32805) on Monday, October 17th, 2016 from 9am – 11am. Click here to RSVP. Limit one attendee per agency.
