Hear from Our Members & Participants
The Affinity Groups workshop was engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking! I loved the focus that was put on creating affinity groups for your organization and truly connecting volunteers to your mission. Many real-life examples were included to help the participant consider how to apply these practices to their organization.

How to Design Online Curriculum for Adults was really engaging and interesting! The flow of the presentation — as well as the breakdown of concepts, definitions, and possible avenues — was incredibly helpful. I took notes the whole time! This webinar made me super excited to begin revamping our nonprofit’s online training process!
Katie Williamson

The workshop provided a valuable forum for engaging with professional peers facing similar challenges. It offered fresh perspectives and insights into the management strategies of other organizations, which helped to spark new ideas for my own work!

The first one reads: I really enjoyed the "2022 Social Media Crash Course - What's Working Right Now?" event! I appreciated that it was practical. I was happy to receive the entire workshop slides and recording so I could listen again. I used my takeaways at our team meeting to brainstorm. I can’t wait to put everything I’ve learned into practice.
MaryEllen Seaton
PAL Group.
I attended How To Beat the Social Media Algorithm training and it was an hour well spent. Through polls and discussion, I could see where our organization stood in relation to others, I learned top trends for 2021 that we needed to adapt, and I'm able to think of fun new campaigns using new tools. Looking forward to attending more sessions in the future.
Coryn Carson
Marketing and Media Manager at The Working Theater.
This workshop was well-presented and went through detailed information about segmentation and evaluating the success of appeals in an easy-to-understand format. I appreciated the many real-life examples given and how the practices could be applied over several different databases or CRMs.
Madeleine Dile
Development Manager at the Karsh.
Building Your Nonprofit Brand on Social Media helped me realize which tools to use and which were most effective. The webinar also gave succinct guidelines for updating and maintaining your sites.
Maritza Alvarado
Principal Consultant at MAK Consultants.
I stumbled across Creative Ways to Solicit Stakeholder Feedback Equitably and Inclusively while researching trainings on another topic. This webinar gave me a lot of great ideas that I can see playing out for our different audiences and channels and I am looking forward to reading the online book as well.
Kimberly Donoughe

The Nonprofit Learning Lab offers very informative trainings and answers the questions we didn't know we had! A big thank you for offering these crucial trainings for all of us that have quickly had to move to virtual meetings.
Kevin Osborn
Integration Coordinator at the Seattle Jobs Initiative.
Effective Staff Supervision was exactly the training I was looking for. It gave me practical tools such as evaluation templates as well as generalized advice that I can use throughout the year to better manage my staff. I feel much more confident as a manager after taking this training.
Anna Newborg
Director of the Baldwin Borough Public Library.
I'm very glad I took the webinar on How To Lead Better Online Meetings and Training. It was really eye-opening to learn the crucial differences between leading live workshops vs. webinars. My program's online trainings will be stronger and more engaging, thanks to the Nonprofit Learning Lab.
Kathleen O'Malley
Director of the NYC Feral Cat Initiative.
Thank you, that was a great workshop. The content was useful and interactive with a good speaker. Building Fundraising Success provided lots of new tools for engaging with donors.
Daisy Debelle, PhD
Environment for the Americas & Home of World Migratory Bird Day.
Creating Webinars that People Want to Attend was so helpful for me because I’m having to move a lot of my work to online webinars and I hadn’t done that before. I love how the trainer modeled the techniques that she recommended we use. I plan to incorporate what she taught us in the webinars we lead!
Sayrah Namaste
AFSC New Mexico.
Thanks for this helpful and timely webinar! I enjoyed all the polls because they helped me get a sense of what some of my peers are thinking right now about the topic (Hosting Events When it’s Safe to Gather: Marketing, Managing Expectations, and Scenario Planning). The presenter offered some really insightful tips for all kinds of events.
Katherine Indermaur
Development Associate at the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.
This was my first time attending a training with the Nonprofit Learning Lab. After attending the training How to Successfully Manage and Engage Volunteers During a Crisis, I was quite impressed. The training was very thorough and I wish I had heard about the Nonprofit Learning Lab before!
