Nonprofit Training Institute

The Nonprofit Leadership and Training Institute at Montgomery College's mission is to inspire our students to make a difference in the community. We strive to enhance or improve the skills and knowledge of those currently a part of a nonprofit team, or looking to get started with a nonprofit.
We offer a growing mix of courses designed to enhance the skills of experienced and new nonprofit professionals. Individual courses are tailored to specific topic but are open to all students with all levels of experience and we encourage you to expand your network. Keep the conversation going before, during and after your courses: Join our LinkedIn Groupnew window and follow us on Instagramnew window.
