The Leadership Journey is a 15-hour program that aims to develop Transformational Leaders who inspire and empower others for the good of their community. Participants of the Leadership Journey program will walk away with an enhanced understanding of their personal strengths, tangible life skills for effective team collaboration, an awareness of the value of versatility, clarity of mission, and a plan for effecting positive change in their organization and/​or community.

The Leadership Journey accomplishes the following objectives:

• To enhance individual self-awareness through an understanding of personal and team strengths. 
• To build enduring leaders who exercise values-based decision making and positively impact their communities. 
• To foster collaboration, develop individual leadership and life skills, and provide a way for participants to ​“pay it forward’ as they work in service of their community. 

Strengths Focus
