feed the homeless, care for seniors or protect the
environment. By working together, we can ensure that
volunteers have meaningful experiences and that
everyone has the opportunity to "change
themselves and change the world."
Board
Leadership
Connection
If you are a nonprofit agency looking for new board
members, we can help. We serve nonprofit
agencies in the community who want to increase their
board capacity by matching qualified and diverse
individuals to nonprofit boards in need of new
members. In addition, Metro Volunteers Board
Leadership Connection
can provide training for your board of directors at
a location and time that is convenient for you, and
at a price that fits your budget. This training will
include a consultation with the facilitator to
prepare for a training that addresses your board's
unique challenges.

group volunteer project
Do you have a regularly scheduled evening or
weekend project - or an evening or weekend

These PC's and volunteers are managed by Metro
Volunteers, but come to serve at your agency.
