eLearning Courses: Based on WV Principles & Practices for Nonprofit Excellence

Back in 2015, the WVNPA developed our WV Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Excellence. Now, we are excited to offer you eLearning courses based on each individual Principle from the Principles and Practices. These self-paced classes offer you the opportunity to do a deep dive into what your organization should have in place to ensure efficacy and efficiency in achieving your mission and how to get there. Each course includes a downloadable student guide workbook you’ll use to do activities and record ideas on how you can improve your organization.

WHO ARE THE COURSES FOR?
These eLearning classes are ideal for new Executive Directors, those just starting a nonprofit organization, nonprofit employees who want a refresh on a specific area or areas of their job, new or seasoned board members, those wanting to know more about how to achieve the benchmarks in our Principles and Practices, and anyone else who’s curious!  If you have decades of experience as a nonprofit leader and already feel you have a handle on all the minutiae of nonprofit operations, our current courses may be more of a review for you. Still wondering if these classes are right for you? Check out our Principles and Practices document, and ask yourself if you’re looking for more information on how to achieve the benchmarks set out for each Principle. If so, these courses are right for you!
