Cultivating a healthier Delaware County through volunteerism and community training.
Build your skillset and expand your knowledge base with our professional development courses.
Whether you are managing a team or an individual contributor, professional development keeps your knowledge and skills current as technology, policies and laws evolve. Our professional development courses provide insight on developing trends with expert trainers who will position you for career growth and success.
Connections Volunteer Center, a program of HelpLine, bridges the gap between passionate volunteers and community needs by helping nonprofits focus on what matters most – people leading fulfilled and supported lives.
We partner with more than 60 nonprofits who address some of the most pressing social issues and together, we make a collective difference. Professional development is also offered to help community champions, social workers and counselors, move good forward.
