Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership (CVNL) is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in San Rafael, California that strengthens the nonprofit sector by developing leadership skills and volunteer capacity. It works with nonprofit leaders and volunteers to build the capabilities and networks needed to increase impact and foster healthier, more equitable communities. The organization operates within the nonprofit services field, emphasizing learning and leadership development rather than direct program delivery. CVNL serves nonprofit organizations and individual volunteers seeking to improve governance, collaboration, and program effectiveness. It participates in community initiatives in Marin County and Northern California, including volunteer fairs and service recognition events, and collaborates with local sponsors and partners. In 2026 the organization announced a leadership transition with its chief executive officer stepping down, reflecting ongoing organizational evolution.
