Empowering Greater San Gabriel Valley Area Nonprofits With Professional Expertise
Our Mission
Jericho Road Pasadena provides professional expertise to local nonprofits to strengthen their community impact.
How We Strengthen Nonprofits
Nonprofits are facing unprecedented challenges—natural disasters, shifting policies, and changing funding priorities. We help organizations navigate uncertainty and build long-term resilience through:
Skilled Volunteer Matching – Connecting nonprofits with experts in risk management, finance, HR, legal support, marketing, and more.
Board Matching – Recruiting and placing community leaders on nonprofit boards, and providing training to help boards govern effectively.
Social Impact Leadership Training – Equipping current and aspiring Executive Directors/CEOs with the skills to lead through crisis and change.
Timely Workshops – Offering practical, solution-focused training on disaster preparedness, policy and funding shifts, board leadership, and effective storytelling.
Peer Networking – Creating space for nonprofit leaders to connect, share resources, and problem-solve together.
