Now in its sixth year, Support Center’s developing leader program, The Leadership Collaborative (TLC), engages emerging social sector leaders in a structured peer group to support, advise, and inspire their fellow leaders.  The program’s goals include:

• Increase awareness of leadership style by providing a safe space for growth
• Strengthen strategic decision making skills through case studies and a capstone project
• Equip leaders with tools to invoke change in the organizations and communities served

Through ten in-person gatherings, participants learn creative solutions to management, operations, and sustainability challenges. Since TLC's inception in 2012, we’ve trained a diverse group of leaders from the NYC tri-state area representing all areas of the social sector.

DETAILS: The 2020 program starts on May 14 and concludes in December. The cost per participant is $1,200, with partial scholarships available on a case-by-case basis.

• Expert instruction from leading practitioners and subject matter specialists through tailor-made seminars and panel discussions
• A 360 degree leadership assessment and DiSC(TM) profile to explore their personal and professional leadership and communication styles
