Nonprofit Board Service: Training, Matching & Support

Most nonprofit boards struggle with engagement, direction, or effectiveness. Board members join with a passion for the mission but often feel unclear about their responsibilities. Nonprofits need strong leadership but may lack the structure or support to guide their boards effectively. And skilled professionals who want to serve don’t always know how to find the right fit.

At Jericho Road Pasadena, we solve these challenges by training board members, matching professionals with nonprofits, and coaching boards to be more effective.
