Emerging leaders: a middle management and leadership certificate program
Supporting a New Generation of Leaders
The next generation of nonprofit leaders will come from a diverse group of middle managers in the social services sector. To strengthen the skills and scope of these exceptional individuals, the Metcalf Foundation and United Way of Greater Toronto present a unique certificate program — Emerging Leaders.
Offered in partnership with the Schulich School of Business at York University, the Emerging Leaders program focuses on leadership development, core management skills, and sectoral analysis. Participants in the 23-day certificate program will:
- Build their skills to respond to complex challenges and opportunities in their workplaces today
- Enhance their ability to lead organizations in the future
- Learn strategies for understanding and adapting to change
- Strengthen skills in best management practices in financial management, project management, human resources and other key areas
- Develop leadership tools to influence policy decisions and foster collaboration
- Receive a York University Management and Leadership Certificate upon successful completion of the program
University faculty, subject experts and experienced practitioners will lead participants through hands-on workshops and peer-based learning. The program format includes full day class sessions, retreats and off-site learning activities.
Through a generous funding opportunity, United Way of Greater Toronto and the George Cedric Metcalf Charitable Foundation have partnered to offer financial support to this program. This financial support will cover the program cost, valued at $8,400 per participant.
