Brampton Non-Profit & Charitable Sector Development Learning Series

The Advance Brampton Fund is presenting a limited online seminar series to support the development and growth of the non-profit and charitable sectors in Brampton. These free sessions are facilitated by The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education at Toronto Metropolitan University, are designed to provide valuable learning, and are interactive, engaging and tailored to address real-world challenges faced by non-profit leaders. They are led by industry experts and designed to enhance the capacity and resilience of non-profit organizations by providing practical knowledge that can be immediately applied.

This year, in response to past participant feedback, sessions will be offered both digitally and in-person. Participants with verified attendance in seminars will receive a digital participation award they can share on social media and use as an asset in their career progression.

Participation in all of these seminars is prioritized for non-profit professionals and volunteers with organizations operating in Brampton. Secondary consideration will be provided for participation from professionals and volunteers with organizations in Peel Region. All others will be considered only after registrants from these two groups have been accommodated.
