GETTING STARTED AT SVP

TIMELINE

Individuals interested in becoming an SVP Partner should complete this brief New Partner Application prior to the deadline for each cohort.

We review all submitted forms and compare the skills and interests of applicants against our existing group and the needs of the nonprofit community with the goal of ensuring that we can meet the expectations of our Partners and best serve the community. If you have not yet met with a member of our team you may be invited to a Zoom call or meeting.

After you make your donation, you are required to attend our two-part orientation. We hold make-up sessions if necessary

Part I: Overview of SVP’s unique positioning and impact. Partners are introduced to the SVP community and the myriad ways to engage with SVP. You will also meet your "Sherpa" who is another SVP Partner who will be in touch with you periodically during your first year, and the rest of your cohort of new Partners.

Part II: Introduction to our process and approach. After attending this session, Partners will feel prepared to jump into an engagement.

Check the SVP Calendar for our next orientation dates.
