Worcester County’s nonprofit organizations bring essential services to those living in central Massachusetts. From early childhood education to youth development, music programs, cultural institutions and land trusts --our people are strengthened by these organizations who are dedicated to a healthier community for us all.

But who will help the helpers? Since 1998, the Foundation’s Nonprofit Support Center has been a catalyst for training and education of those who lead the region’s nonprofits. These opportunities provide peer learning to assist nonprofit professionals in developing their skills and making invaluable contacts for future collaboration. Workshops are led by respected leaders who offer practical guidance that can be put to use immediately. Each workshop is facilitated with the intent of fostering a co-learning environment, where ideas are shared and resources optimized.

Essential learning for a thriving sector. This spring lineup continues the tradition. I hope that you will check it out!
