Nonprofit Professional Development That Builds Confidence, Connection, and Community
Now housed within the Center for Nonprofit Excellence, TLC remains a vital and visible part of our commitment to learning. Through its continuing programs, TLC provides:
- Topical trainings and hands-on workshops
- An annual retreat designed specifically for nonprofit CEOs
- Peer learning opportunities to strengthen skills and build relationships
Workshops are open to nonprofit staff and leadership who live in or serve Elkhart County. Each session is designed to be accessible, practical, and relevant to the real-world needs of local organizations.

For many, The Learning Center is the entry point into CNE—and a place where leadership is cultivated through conversation, reflection, and real-world learning.
TLC is supported by the Fund For Excellence, which was created with and funded by the generous contributions of Lilly Endowment Inc. and Elkhart County philanthropists to strengthen nonprofits in our community.
