On Tuesday, May 17, NHS of New Haven hosted a graduation for our Spring 2016 Resident Leadership Program participants. We are so proud of all those who took part in the program and will become powerful leaders and advocates in their communities.
About the Resident Leadership Program:
In March 2010, Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven launched its Building Leaders, Building Communities: Resident Leadership Program. The program was an essential element of the training and education component of our Neighborhood Revitalization Institute.
The primary goals of the program are to transfer concrete leadership skills to New Haven residents, create a space for participants to share their experiences with one another, and increase their sense of being agents of change.
One key to achieving these goals is to start with the fundamental belief that participants and the communities they represent are assets. Oftentimes leadership programs are built to fill in the “missing gaps” in emerging leaders rather than to hone the strengths they already possess or allow time to build confidence and skills. This program aims to change that paradigm.
Based on a curriculum developed in conjunction with our national partner, NeighborWorks®America, the program consisted of five units:
One: The Art and Science of Leadership
Two: Mapping Community Assets
Three: Understanding Power for Community Change
Four: Planning Successful Campaigns
Five: Leading Great Meetings
We are so proud of our graduates!

ReplyDeleteThanks for writing such a good article, I stumbled onto your blog and read a few post. I like your style of writing... folding doors
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very good. I recently had folding doors installed in my home, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Not only do they look fantastic, but they also create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The team at TradersFind did an excellent job with the installation, and the quality of the doors is top-notch. I highly recommend considering folding doors!
