Next Level Leadership: Change Leader Alliance Academy Series

This Change Leader Alliance Academy Series is designed for leaders with lived experience who are ready to step into leadership roles on nonprofit boards, community coalitions, and at other decision-making tables. Whether you're already involved or just getting started, this session will help you lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Why this matters…

Community boards and coalitions are often missing the very voices needed most, those with real-world experience navigating systems like poverty, incarceration, and addiction. The Change Leader Alliance believes in flipping the script and investing in experiential leaders who bring wisdom, creativity, and grit to the table. Together, we’re changing who builds community solutions and who gets to lead.

What You'll Learn:

• A clear understanding of board and coalition roles

• Insights into the hidden and unspoken rules of leadership tables

• Tools to navigate group dynamics, fundraising, and Roberts Rules

• Practical financial basics for the boardroom

• Support in showing up authentically and professionally

• Real-life scenarios to help you speak up, lead well, and stay grounded in your values

Who should attend? 

Individuals with lived experience who are:

• Serving or interested in serving on a board or community coalition

• Seeking to grow in their leadership and advocacy

• Ready to bring real-world wisdom to the decision-making table
