Workshops
Grow Your Skills. Lead With Confidence.
Nonprofit work moves fast, and the skills it needs keep changing. HSF Workshops give leaders, managers, and emerging staff practical training they can use on Monday morning. Topics run from management fundamentals to specialized certifications, and every session is taught by people who know the human service sector.
- Leadership and management skills you can apply right away
- Credentials that support your career growth
- Fresh ideas from experienced trainers and your peers in the room
- Affordable learning built for nonprofit budgets
- Trainings: Focused sessions on the topics nonprofit teams ask for most. Take a single session or build your own path
- Supervisory Certificate Series: An eight-part program that gives new and developing supervisors the skills to lead teams with confidence. It is offered through the Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund.
Professional development shouldn’t depend on the size of your organization. Through the MA Workforce Training Fund Express Grant program, smaller agencies can get funding for trainings that might otherwise be out of reach. That gives your staff the chance to grow, and it gives your organization stronger leaders.
The process is simple:
Easy to apply. The application is quick and straightforward.
Simple to get paid. Submitting paperwork for payment is just as easy.
Ready to use. HSF’s Supervisory Certificate Series is offered through the Fund, so your team can start building skills right away.
Not sure if your organization qualifies? We’re happy to help you get started.
Stand alongside the region’s nonprofit community at its signature gathering, and be seen as a partner in its success.
