Service Enterprise

The Service Enterprise program is a change management approach that helps organizations more effectively leverage volunteers and their skills, increasing the return on volunteer investment to meet their missions. This nationally certified program began in 2010 as an initiative by Points of Light in partnership with CaliforniaVolunteers and Reimagining Service and is now led by Association of Leaders in Volunteer Engagement (AL!VE).

The 8-week (October 18 – November 29, 2023) cohort based program is designed for multiple participants in your organization and includes weekly peer-learning opportunities. Your organization will begin with a comprehensive research-based assessment AKA the Service Enterprise Diagnostic (SED) developed by the TCC Group, Deloitte LLC, as well as RGK Center for Philanthropy and Community Service and Algorhythm. Not only will this diagnostic provide a baseline for future training and consulting within your organization, but a strategic pathway to national certification to equip your nonprofit with the tools and technical assistance necessary to support development and growth within these ten identified characteristics:
