On Thursday, Oct. 1, Jack Rolfe will offer a training workshop, “Nine Critical Steps Necessary to Survive in the Nonprofit World,” to nonprofit organizations in southern Utah from 8 a.m. to noon at Dixie Applied Technology College, 1506 South Silicon Way, building C-2 in St. George. During the recession, 38 percent of Utah nonprofits closed their doors. Nonprofit organizations often fill the voids that the private and government sectors cannot address. Whether a nonprofit is a start-up or has been in existence for several years, Rolfe will explain what areas can benefit and how through a step-by-step process.
To bring this workshop to the public, the Utah Nonprofits Association Southern Utah Committee has partnered with the School of Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated reversing the troublesome trend of high school dropouts by providing key after-school programs and engagement to increase high school graduation rates, functionality, and success.
As the founder and CEO of the School of Life foundation, Jack Rolfe has made a substantial impact locally and provides success training in several areas, including the nonprofit sector. The vision of his work is leading a “positive disruption” in education. The curriculum is based on his book, “Learn to ‘School’ Your Toughest Opponent.” Jack also wrote “27 Seconds” and is a contributing author of the books “Life Choices: It’s Never Too Late” and “Heart of a Toastmaster.”
Every southern Utah Utah Nonprofits Association educational program includes time for practical discussion, networking, and the sharing of experiences between nonprofit peers. Though programs are focused on nonprofit organizations, workshops and networking events are open to the public.
The Utah Nonprofits Association is the umbrella membership association of nonprofit organizations in Utah. Incorporated in 1990, Utah Nonprofits Association was created by and for people who strive for a stronger, more professional nonprofit community in Utah. The current membership of Utah Nonprofits Association statewide includes over 650 nonprofit organizations and individual members.
Attendance fees for the Utah Nonprofits Association Jack Rolfe workshop “Nine Critical Steps Necessary to Survive in the Nonprofit World” are $30 for Utah Nonprofits Association members and $50 for non-members. A light continental breakfast will be served. For more information or to register online, visit utahnonprofits.org or contact Dawn McLain via email or by calling (702) 860-2341.
