The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires was founded on the belief that we can leverage community assets to help nonprofits thrive. Volunteers like YOU are one of our greatest assets. You can make a difference in this community by donating your time, talent and treasure. We make it easy by giving you the information you need to get involved.

VOLUNTEER FAIRS
NPC is always happy to partner with other organizations to host Volunteer Fairs that bring nonprofits and members of the community together to meet and exchange information on how they can work together. Please see an example of one of our very busy Volunteer Fairs (watch a quick video clip here ). If you are interested in collaborating with us on one of these events, please contact us at info@npcberkshires.org.
PRO BONO CONSULTING & TEACHING
Calling all retirees, consultants, and semi-retired folks who want to share their expertise with nonprofits. Teach a webinar, get connected to nonprofits that need advice and guidance, or offer “office hours” where you can consult by appointment for a modest flat fee. To discuss this further or for any questions, please email info@npcberkshires.org and one of our staff will be happy to get in touch with you.
BOARD TRAINING
Have you always wanted to serve on a nonprofit board but worried you don’t have the experience necessary to make a contribution? Are you currently on a board but not sure what is expected of you? Attend one of our board trainings to learn more about the role and responsibilities of board members, best practices, and practical information on how to read financial statements, fundraise, and advocate. Trainings can be customized for corporate or nonprofit groups and by level of experience.
