is one of the core functions of The New York State Office of National and Community
Service. We are able to accomplish this through our Professional Development Assistance

training opportunities, including events sponsored by the Office, the National Conference
on Service and Volunteering, as well as other relevant training opportunities.
If you would like to inform other agencies in your community about training opportunities
that you are sponsoring or that you believe would be valuable, please send an email
