A new program called Board Bootcamp is set to launch this January. The four-session training is designed to equip professionals in Kankakee and Iroquois Counties with the skills and knowledge to serve effectively on nonprofit boards.

Board Bootcamp will cover diverse aspects of board service, which is broken down, simple, and easy to understand. Attendees will hear from current nonprofit board members, network with community leaders, and learn how they can best contribute to the enhancement of local nonprofit organizations.

Board Bootcamp is set to kick off its inaugural cohort on January 17, continuing on January 31, February 14, and concluding February 28. Sessions will take place from 8 – 9:30 a.m., at Riverside Medical Center’s Johnson Lecture Hall. Cost per participant is only $40 for all four sessions.

Board Bootcamp is a joint initiative of the Community Foundation of Kankakee River Valley, the United Way of Kankakee and Iroquois Counties, with support from the Kankakee County Chamber of Commerce. The goal of this effort is to strengthen the community’s nonprofit leadership, engage fresh voices in board service, and to build a strong foundation for participants’ community engagement and impact.
