Our Work in Leadership Development

Changing conditions for kids takes the energy of people with the skills, persistence and experience to work together to untangle complex problems. Often, nonprofit, public and social leaders aren’t equipped to achieve results that can make a brighter future for large numbers of children. We work with partners around the country to develop current and emerging leaders in the social and public sectors in the following ways:

Empowering and connecting exceptional leaders through a focus on results-based leadership as a lever to drive large scale result for children and families

Collaborative leadership development, in which diverse leaders are brought together around a shared priority, can be a good investment for grant makers to generate accelerated achievement of results in communities.

Strengthening leadership in the public and social sectors and preparing the leaders of tomorrow

Navigating leadership transitions and building the next generation of leaders are key elements in the success of the social sector.

Building capacity for staff and organizations and networks critical to our mission

Strengthening equitable opportunities by sharing important lessons on race equity and inclusion
