Are you ready to take your seat at the table and make a lasting impact in your community? The SEAT Program (Serving, Engaging, Advancing, Transforming) is back in Norwalk, offering an incredible opportunity for residents from Black and Latino neighborhoods to step into nonprofit board service.

With just four spots left, now is the time to join this groundbreaking initiative to increase diversity and community representation on nonprofit boards. YOU CAN APPLY HERE.

Starting next Tuesday, January 28, SEAT’s ten-week training program will equip participants with essential skills to serve on nonprofit boards confidently. Led by the experienced Kim Bianca Burgess, this comprehensive program covers:

• Identifying transferable skills to bring to a boardroom setting

• Understanding nonprofit structures and governance

• Preparing for meaningful board engagement

One of the program’s highlights is the Meet & Greet events, where participants connect with nonprofit organizations actively seeking board members. These events foster valuable connections and provide a pathway to board service without any obligations—just opportunities. In fact, over 70% of SEAT graduates have been recruited to nonprofit boards, helping organizations better reflect and serve their communities.

Since its inception in 2021, SEAT has successfully trained over 45 candidates, with more than two dozen nonprofit boards benefiting from the program’s graduates. Last year, 5 out of the 6 participating Norwalk nonprofits found candidates through SEAT, highlighting its success in building bridges between nonprofits and local talent.
