For board members and prospective board members, we offer the first module of the Nonprofit Board Certificate program: Introduction to the role of the nonprofit board. Create an account on the Nonprofit Learning Center to take this free lesson and get a sample of the Powerhouse BoardsTM Workbook.

Before you join a board: Watch “Ready to Serve”
Are you recruiting nonprofit board members? Share our “Ready to Serve” video with them. It’s a shortened version of The Role of the Board, intended to walk them through the decision before they join your board. Answering their questions and explaining what to expect will make it easier for potential board members to envision themselves in the role.
After you join a board: Watch “Welcome to the Board,” a nonprofit board orientation
Do you have new folks on your nonprofit board? Share “Welcome to the Board” with these new members of your Board of Directors. Our nonprofit board orientation will help them understand what is expected of them and how they can succeed in the new role.
