First OnBoard

Are you interested in serving on a nonprofit board?  Is your agency seeking board members?

We invite you to participate in GoLead First OnBoardThis public-private collaboration is designed to prepare individuals in the community to serve as valuable and engaged members of a nonprofit board in the community.

First OnBoard recruits, trains and matches individuals with nonprofit agencies in Palm Beach County.  We work collaboratively with agencies in the community to identify board placement opportunities that would be attractive to prospective board members. Individuals who are interested in serving on a nonprofit board will complete an application process and participate in an eleven-hour training program delivered through the Education, Leadership and Consulting Services division.
