The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL)® announces the launch of Amplify: Heighten Your Impact™, a 6-week self-paced online course for nonprofit leaders that builds leadership skills and evaluation mindsets.
Based on over 50 years of leadership research and experience, Amplify is a flexible online nonprofit leadership program that positions participants to learn new skills to advance their missions and apply insights within their organizations — improving outcomes, increasing sustainability, and heightening impact. It offers engaging online learning, frameworks, and tools tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by nonprofit professionals.
Amplify participants learn to navigate complex challenges, inspire teams, and adapt to an ever-evolving social sector landscape. The learning journey equips nonprofit professionals with the mindsets and skillsets needed to elevate their impact, cultivate resources to build momentum, and achieve outcomes aligned with their purpose.
The program focuses on expanding vital leadership and evaluation capabilities, including:
- Learning Agility: Developing an evaluative mindset
- Theory of Change: Staying focused and evaluating the programs in service of the mission
- Direction – Alignment – Commitment (DAC)™: Approaching leadership as a social process and engaging all stakeholders
- Social Identity & Emotional Intelligence: Understanding yourself to help inform strategic decisions
- Evaluation Design & Data Collection: Measuring impact and alignment to organizational mission
- Storytelling & Influence: Communicating your story for greater impact
It also features practical applications that participants can develop into actionable insights in real time, applying learnings directly to their work and throughout their organizations.
“Amplify is more than a course — it’s a catalyst for transformation,” said Marie Leonard, Digital Learning Product Manager at CCL. “We’re helping nonprofit leaders build the skills and confidence to lead with purpose, measure their impact, and create lasting change.”
The Amplify initiative was made possible through generous support from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, whose grant and PropelNext program design has enabled CCL to expand access to high-impact leadership development for mission-driven organizations.
The program has also been shaped by our philanthropic partners such as the Scattergood Foundation, which played a vital role in developing its evaluation framework. Their collaboration has helped to ensure Amplify is grounded in real-world impact measurement and aligned with the needs of nonprofit leaders working in behavioral health and social services.
“We believe in Amplify … because this nonprofit professional development program will better equip leaders to evaluate and improve their work and ultimately deliver on their missions,” said Joe Pyle, President of the Scattergood Foundation.
Early program participants are reporting increased confidence in leading teams, evaluating programs, and communicating their missions effectively.
The Amplify program may be offered as part of a larger leadership journey or as a custom program for social sector organizations. Learn more about our nonprofit leadership development expertise or the Amplify nonprofit leadership online course.
