Join us for a year of learning, connection, and community with the Leadership Learning Lab

The Leadership Learning Lab is a year-long program that combines adaptive and collaborative leadership, time management, and a suite of nonprofit and cross-sector capacity-building skills.  The program invests directly in leaders as a way to strengthen their organizations and the communities they serve. 

The LLL combines monthly learning sessions, small group learning pods, individual reflection, a community Facebook group, and ongoing support. You will have the opportunity to deepen relationships with leaders in your community and connect with those across northern lower Michigan. We welcome leaders at all levels from nonprofit organizations, businesses, government agencies, and Tribal Nations.
