For Individuals
BoardConnect® introduces individuals to the benefits of serving their communities, teaches them board responsibilities and how to effectively use their skills and experience for the benefit of nonprofits. Through BoardConnect training, individuals learn how to access a pool of nonprofit organizations in need of their help.
How to Participate in BoardConnect:
Step one: Individuals attend BoardConnect’s Serving on a Nonprofit Board training
- The training addresses the roles and responsibilities of a board member, including board operations, strategic planning, resource development, oversight and ambassadorship.
- We also provide training on how to access boardnetUSA’s online matching database.
- Workshop is appropriate for individuals interested in board service or those already serving and striving for best practices.

Step two: Following training, BoardConnect registers individuals on boardnetUSA, a free matching database for nonprofit boards, where you can complete an online profile and search for nonprofit boards in need of your service.
Step three: Individuals can then take advantage of BoardConnect’s matching services, which include:
- Providing support in utilizing boardnetUSA to connect with nonprofits
- Facilitating communication through reminders and supporting information when an individual is considering a match with a nonprofit
