What people are saying

Our 2017-2018 graduating class had something to say about our leadership program:

 

Leadership Victoria created the foundation for my network when I was new to Victoria

 

I met community leaders during our sessions whom I am still in contact a year later

 

The fact that the program supports people to challenge themselves through a very difficult task builds the capacity, resilience, and tool kit of everyone who finishes the program. At the end, you have the confidence to lead change in the community that you may not have had before.

    Community Leadership Development Program

    Founded in 2001, the Community Leadership Development Program is our flagship program. It takes emerging leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors and sets them up for success as community leaders. 

    The 2018/19 Community Leadership Development Program is a four month learning journey that starts in November and runs through February 2019. We combine exclusive content (live workshops and online classrooms) with open public events so participants deepen their connections to the leaders of Greater Victoria.

    Our learning model adopts Bloom's Taxonomy's 70-20-10 rule: learning is most effective when 10% involves theory, 20% involves peer engagement and 70% involves experiential or applied learning. This is accomplished through real-world Community Action Projects with our community partner.

    Peer engagement is key to successful learning, so we balance our program between live workshops and online classrooms. Our online components focus on collaboration and discussions, supported by team coaches. 

    Registration for this year’s program is open now.

Please feel free to download this picture as a lasting memento of the event and of those who were celebrated. Will it be you standing, honoured, on those stairs in 2019?
