Calling On Young & Emerging Local Leaders 

Board Bootcamp is set to return Thursday, January 9th from 8:30 AM - 4 PM. This training will be hosted at KCC’s Miner South Extension Center in Watseka and is designed to equip professionals in Kankakee and Iroquois Counties with the skills and knowledge to serve effectively on nonprofit boards. 

Board Bootcamp will cover diverse aspects of board service – broken down to be simple and easy to understand. Attendees will hear from current nonprofit board members, network with community leaders, and learn how they can best contribute to the enhancement of our local nonprofit organizations. 

Board Bootcamp's first 2025 cohort will be the first to be hosted in Iroquois County. Cost per-participant is only $50 and includes lunch.

Our goal is to strengthen Kankakee and Iroquois Counties' nonprofit leadership, engage fresh voices in board service, and build a strong foundation for participants’ community engagement and impact.
