Transforming the World, One Leader at a Time
Everyone working in the social sector wants to make a difference. Building the capacity of community and nonprofit leadership is the first step toward lasting societal change. The benefits of transformative learning & development opportunities are not limited to a single event or training session. Long after the program ends, growth continues to resonate and impact ripples outward, affecting not only the individuals in the program, but also each of the lives that they touch and change as a result.
That’s why we train thousands of social sector leaders each year. And as a mission-driven, nonprofit organization, we believe our work should be affordable and accessible to all — from young people to senior adults — so we have a robust scholarship program.
