Why Workshops?
Many nonprofit organizations lack the funds and person-power to send their staff to training workshops where they can boost their knowledge and learn new skills. This is especially problematic in a rural area such as West Marin, where attending most trainings can mean up to three hours’ travel.
One of West Marin Fund’s most popular services is the shared learning, skill-building workshops we offer our local nonprofits for free, the subjects of which are based on requests from the field. High quality, professional presenters address a particular topic, answer participant questions, and provide handouts for guidance and later use.
Equally important is the too-rare opportunity to meet with colleagues in an informal setting. During the COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders, we provided a range of trainings and professional input through video conference meetings, one-on-one coaching, and webinars.
