The programs will run every other Monday through Dec. 14. Classes will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the new Community Foundation meeting room at 106 E. High Street, Waynesburg.

The nonprofit leadership program explores leadership, nonprofit board governance, financial management, communication and team work, strategic planning, public relations, resource development and volunteer engagement.

The cost is $150, which covers some materials and a light meal during each session. Some employers or organizations cover all or part of the fee.

A limited number of scholarships are available for half of the tuition.
