BANC Community Leadership Program

For the second year in a row, Lift360 brings its innovative, hands-on program to Bethel to prepare YOU to get involved with a nonprofit organization in our community. This is top-notch professional development opportunity offered right in your backyard!

This four-session training program will cover topics on the nonprofit sector in Maine, board governance, financials, and fundraising. Through the experience, you will learn about many of the exceptional organizations in the Bethel area and how you can get involved. You will learn from the presentations, small group activities, panelists, and from other participants.

Here is what 2016 BANC CLP participants had this to say about the program:

"BANC is a great group. Even if you don't jump right in and sit on a board, I feel it's important to know what is going on in the community in which you live and who is involved. I found the series of evenings that BANC put together to be inspiring, educational, and enlightening when it comes to how we can all contribute to the betterment of the area." Brian Simpson

"I participated in all four sessions of the BANC Community Leadership Program. I knew being asked to be on a board was an honor, but I didn't fully understand the full weight of the responsibility. The program helped me understand the scope of challenges that face non-profits in our community, but more importantly, it helped me see the great opportunities for us ahead." Wade Kavanaugh

The sessions run from 4-7PM on May 1, 2, 8 and 9. Refreshments are provided each evening. Bonus this year: beer and wine available for purchase!
