What do you look for when looking for opportunities to build your skill set? Do you want training with immediate application? Do you want to interact with colleagues who do what you do every day? All classes offer the opportunity to meet and interact with your peers. Most NRN training will include in-class time for you to apply the concepts and skill sets introduced in the session.
The NRN's educational opportunities reflect our values of consistency and relevancy. For example, we annually offer the Essentials of Fundraising classes and the Nonprofit Management Certificate Program. Other offerings are based on the results of periodic participant surveys and community feedback.
Courses are written for paid staff working in not-for-profit organizations. However, we always welcome volunteer participation. Please note that some offerings are limited to employees-only to encourage peer-to-peer learning and networking.
Registration Fees
Some of our classes are based on agency budget and class length (please see our sliding fee scale for details). Some of our classes are based on the fees charged by the organizations with whom we partner. We often offer a discount to individuals who register for an entire set of classes. Registration forms for each class series delinate the cost of each module and the entire course.
Continuing Education Credits
Millersville University offers Continuing Education (CE) credits for all the workshops that we offer. For example, licensed social workers may attend these classes to obtain CE credit. Please call Anne at 717.871.2178 to receive more information.
