Board Match

Singapore’s Centre for Non-Profit Leadership (CNPL) is a non-profit organization with a vision to transform the non-profit sector in Singapore through effective and dedicated leadership. This comes at a time when there is renewed interest of governance in the sector and an increase in professionals stepping forward to volunteer their talents and leadership experience for charitable causes. As such, CNPL’s Board Match programme is popular because it allows volunteers to network with a larger professional circle and further develop leadership capabilities as well as contribute positively to the community. If you are interested to volunteer, and would like explore this further, click here to find out more.
