Summary

Unlock a transformative opportunity designed specifically for individuals of color in middle management roles within Greater New Haven’s nonprofit landscape. This two-year executive leadership program aims to nurture the next generation of nonprofit leaders, providing essential skills and support to drive impactful change.


Ideal candidates are those with a minimum of one year’s experience in nonprofit settings and a strong desire to advance to CEO or higher-level management positions.


Participants will engage in a comprehensive training regimen that includes bi-monthly sessions—one in-person full-day workshop and one 90-minute virtual discussion—covering various aspects of nonprofit leadership. This program, co-led by a prestigious university, not only equips participants with vital knowledge but also offers a certificate of completion and potential academic credit upon finishing the first year.


The second year focuses on practical application of leadership skills, networking opportunities, and personal development plans.


Moreover, the sponsoring nonprofit will benefit from a two-year grant that provides general operating support in the first year, followed by dedicated funds for the participant’s professional growth in the second year. Participants may also receive a scholarship of $2,000 to support future studies at the university, further enhancing their career trajectory.


This initiative not only seeks to diversify leadership within the nonprofit sector but also aims to create lasting impacts in the community through enhanced services for underserved populations, including children, families, and individuals facing mental health challenges. If you are ready to elevate your career while contributing to meaningful community development, this opportunity is your pathway to leadership and change.
