What does it look like to put leadership development into practice?
Join Nonprofit Staten Island for a virtual information session introducing the LUCHA Action Learning Experience, an application-based, six-month cohort experience within the LUCHA Leadership Initiative.
Designed for Hispanic nonprofit professionals and leaders serving Hispanic communities on Staten Island, Action Learning offers an opportunity to strengthen leadership while applying new perspectives and approaches to the real challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities participants navigate in their organizations and communities.
Unlike traditional leadership training, Action Learning brings together leadership development, reflection, practical application, peer learning, and coaching. Participants are encouraged to examine their own leadership, learn from one another, and put their learning into practice.
The experience builds on NPSI’s existing Action Learning model while incorporating a culturally responsive leadership lens that recognizes the role of identity, community, organizational culture, and lived experience in how we lead.
