Virtual Learning

MCN’s virtual trainings aren’t your ordinary webinars. In fact, they don’t feel like a webinar at all. Instead, we offer highly interactive trainings – combining presentations, conversations, individual reflection, and work between sessions to provide a unique learning experience.

Networking Events

Often we learn best in the company of our peers. Join MCN's topic- or region-specific networking events to share ideas, questions, and experiences on current nonprofit themes. Drop-in to one of these free events and take away a few new ideas or new connections.
