This program is the perfect balance of learning and impact. It leverages your strengths to make a meaningful difference for a non-profit agency and teaches you inclusive leadership skills you can put right into practice at work.

I’ve used the sessions and their content as an impetus for conversations with coworkers that I may not have otherwise had…conversations about race, culture, authenticity and vulnerability. These are such important conversations for building trust and understanding.

I really enjoyed the cultural competence session. One thing I don’t think people do enough of is self-reflection, and that session really got me thinking differently about myself and how I view others.

The learnings and leadership they bring back to their company will be invaluable in promoting a more inclusive environment and helping advance diversity initiatives. Leaders United gives participants an opportunity to develop connections with other young leaders throughout the Twin Cities community and gives them firsthand exposure to local nonprofits. Giving young leaders the chance to embed themselves in the local community and become philanthropic leaders helps advance the corporate citizenship of the companies they work for.
