An inventory of Voluntary Sector Leadership Education and Training Opportunities can be found on the Web site for the Coalition of National Voluntary Organizations. This inventory focuses on leadership training provided by voluntary organizations, as well as educational institutions; the training covered includes financial management and accountability. The inventory was produced by the National Learning Initiative for the Voluntary Sector, under the Voluntary Sector Initiative. It was posted in early 2003.
