Nonprofit organizations are continually looking for local citizens to lend a hand to the operations of these agencies that, frankly, might not be able to survive without the time and effort put forth by volunteers.

And that’s where the Community Foundation of Greene County comes in. For the last 10 years, through the Community Builders of Greene County, training has been offered for those interested in volunteering time to support local nonprofit organizations.

This year, a new class will begin Aug. 25 in the new Community Foundation meeting room at 106 E. High St. in Waynesburg.

This nonprofit leadership program explores leadership, nonprofit board governance, financial management, communication and teamwork and more. Since the program was launched in 2004, there have been 150 individuals who have completed the course. With the Aug. 15 application deadline for this year’s classes a little more than a month away, we would encourage individuals and employers to seriously consider signing up.

This is one program where the title, Community Builders, speaks for itself.
