Do you want to lead positive change in your world? United Way Leadership Vancouver is here to take the next steps with you.
For more than a decade, Leadership Vancouver provided rewarding learning experiences to many emerging leaders. Leadership Vancouver participants have since made countless valuable contributions to our community.
A revitalized Leadership Vancouver program is back in business. United Way Leadership Vancouver, a partnership of United Way of the Lower Mainland and Royal Roads University, is committed to a new standard of excellence, built upon a powerful legacy of social capital.
United Way brings to the program a record of innovative social change leadership throughout Metro Vancouver.
In partnership with the Centre for Applied Leadership and Management at Royal Roads University, United Way Leadership Vancouver participants benefit by the expertise of one of the most dynamic leadership centres of excellence in North America.
It could be your workplace, organization, neighbourhood, or the community in which you live.
As a participant in United Way Leadership Vancouver, you will sharpen your leadership skills, learn best practices, and join a network of lasting friendships with other leaders from the world of business, government, labour and the social sector.
Participants who complete the program are eligible to apply for academic credit toward Royal Roads University’s Graduate Certificate in Leadership and Management program.
With support from United Way Leadership Vancouver program facilitators Beth Page and Shauna Fenwick, participants will gain a solid foundation in leadership, as well as current knowledge of issues, challenges and opportunities in the region.
United Way Leadership Vancouver is open to up to 40 participants – an intentional mix of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Experiential learning and structured dialogue are blended with training in essential skills and hands-on involvement.
The curriculum addresses the needs of candidates from all sectors.
Outcomes to be delivered:
You will enjoy access to a variety of senior leaders already engaged in addressing our community’s most pressing challenges. You’ll connect with key players and experts engaged in business, government and community initiatives, drawing insights into the opportunities and demands of real-life leadership. Graduates emerge with a capacity for community-building that is equally useful for leaders in private, public, labour and not-for-profit organizations.
Above all, you will come away from your four-month experience with increased capacity to make a difference in your community.
The United Way Leadership Vancouver program is ideal for people in all sectors who are well-prepared for their roles as leaders in their organizations and who are committed to building a healthy, caring, inclusive community. If you are an emerging leader with a big vision for your future, join us!
