What We Do
Jericho Road Pasadena connects nonprofits across the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles with skilled volunteer professionals, so they can build stronger operations and better serve their communities.
Since 2010, we have matched hundreds of nonprofits with experienced volunteers who bring expertise in areas like strategy, finance, HR, legal, marketing, technology, and board development. We also offer training and peer networking for nonprofit leaders and board members. Our services are designed to be accessible to organizations of all sizes and budgets
JRP is a non-sectarian, nonprofit corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service with 501(c)(3) status. The name “Jericho Road” is derived from imagery in a sermon by the Rev. Martin Luther King, when he exhorted his listeners to follow the example of the good Samaritan tending the injured traveler on the road to Jericho.
JRP’s mission is to provide professional expertise to local nonprofits to strengthen their community impact.
Our vision is a network of nonprofits, where resources and collaboration empower organizations to achieve their goals and build stronger, more resilient communities.
DEI: JRP is committed to creating a culture of inclusion, where every individual feels valued and respected. We recognize that our organization’s success is dependent on the diversity of our volunteers, nonprofit clients, and community partners, and we are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and make a meaningful impact.
Skills-based volunteering: Since 2010, we have connected volunteer experts with nonprofits that offer critical services to underserved residents in their communities. By meeting the internal needs of these nonprofits, from strategic planning to marketing and IT, we allow nonprofit staff to focus on stronger delivery of services, thereby building better communities.
JRP follows a seven-step match-making and project management process that defines clear outcomes for the nonprofit and connects the right volunteer to the nonprofit’s need. Projects range from one-time consultations to year-long projects and may be executed by one volunteer or a team.
Workshops and Training: We offer a range of workshops throughout the year, open to anyone looking to improve their nonprofit. Our workshops cover topics like grant writing, fundraising, DEI, strategic planning, and more. We also host the ED Social Impact Training, a cohort-based program designed for CEOs and Executive Directors to enhance their leadership skills. For current workshops, visit Workshops – Jericho Road Pasadena.
Board Training and Placement: We offer board training through a series of Effective Board workshops. The workshops are open to current board members, potential board members, and nonprofit staff who interface with boards. We offer matching services to attendees at the Effective Board workshop series and to community members who are looking for a new board to join.
Community Development: JRP runs the Pasadena Executive Roundtable and participates in numerous other affinity groups.
