LEAD is an intensive learning experience, and support from your nonprofit or community-based organization and supervisors is essential. In community, LEADers develop knowledge, skills, confidence and readiness to make a strong contribution to mission impact and organizational success.
LEAD is precisely the program that community-based organizations should offer to enable local organizations and their leaders to have a greater impact…It’s been an honor to be part of this group, and I’ve learned much more than I had hoped to.
Taylor Honrath, Elkhorn Slough Foundation
LEADers commit to ten intensive, day-long, in-person monthly seminars at Harden Foundation in Salinas from February to December 2025. LEADers should expect to devote 2-3 additional hours each month for coaching, reflection, and self-directed preparatory work for LEAD.
Attendance at seminars is essential. Successful completion of sessions and assignments by December 2025 and the ability to demonstrate integration of content areas in professional life and leadership, qualify you for a LEAD Certificate of Completion.
