The Vegso Community Resource Center Programming Committee is committed to working in partnership with other community support agencies to develop and provide resources for improving the management and governance of non profit organizations in south Palm Beach and north Broward Counties. We actively solicit relationships with groups who would like to partner and provide trainings in our facility. We have established partnerships with the Nonprofit Resource Institute (NRI), a program of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties and the School of the Arts at Florida Atlantic University.
In conjunction with our partners, workshops are provided on a regular basis in our facility. Trainings are offered at a reasonable fee, with scholarship opportunities offered when available. The programming committee solicits feedback from our constituent nonprofit agencies in order to determine future training needs. Please see below for a list of available trainings. For further information, or to sign up for up-coming workshops, please contact 561-620-2553.
