MANP has something for everyone!

Upcoming MANP Trainings + Events

Maine nonprofits employ 1 in 6 workers and are a critical part of Maine’s economy; access to professional development is critical to any organization’s talent attraction and development strategy!

Staff + Volunteer Management

This hour-long webinar will offer practical information and tools on how to navigate difficult questions to help ensure workplaces are respectful, positive and productive spaces for all.
