Are you interested in joining a nonprofit board but don’t know where to start?

Tamer Institute showcase events invite alumni to accelerate their path to board service, connecting directly with mission-driven organizations that are actively recruiting high-impact volunteers and board members.

In September, this special “Back to School” Showcase will feature a group of exceptional leaders of color in the youth development field, selected from The Pinkerton Foundation’s Senior Leadership Network. Join us to learn about their work to support and uplift youth and families in economically disadvantaged areas across New York City – and explore how you can deepen your impact as a volunteer or board member!

About The Pinkerton Foundation

The Pinkerton Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of young people in low-income neighborhoods throughout New York City by helping them develop the skills, self-reliance, and strong values necessary to live up to their full potential. The Pinkerton Foundation supports community-based programs for children, youth, and families in economically disadvantaged areas in New York City. Most of the programs The Foundation supports take place in the after-school, weekend, or summer hours and focus on providing opportunities for academic development, career readiness, and cultural enrichment.
