Learning Circles are discussion groups for people doing similar work.  In many seminars, you primarily LISTEN to experts share their knowledge.  In Learning Circles, the focus is on DISCUSSION and EXCHANGE of knowledge, ideas, resources and collaboration opportunities among you and your peers.  Learning Circles occasionally feature a guest speaker, but the main purpose is to provide networking and resource-building opportunities in small-group settings on topics relevant to each group's focus. 

Nonprofit Connect offers 11 Learning Circles, which are open to all (except where noted) and free for Nonprofit Connect members, $15 for non-members.
