Nonprofit Leadership Boot Camp
Montgomery College’s Nonprofit Leadership Boot Camp develops the competency of emerging leaders striving to create beneficial change. This boot camp equips participants with foundational leadership frameworks, skills, and strategies while providing them the space to apply that learning to their organizational and personal lives.
Our experiences with a global pandemic and broad-scale social movements have amplified the need to deeply understand what it takes to create change and design organizational structures that have efficacy and can effectively adapt to rapidly, and at times dramatically, changing environments. This program introduces frameworks for outcomes-oriented planning and decision making that are used to explore the different management domains of governance, programming, finance, human resources, communications, and engagement, helping participants contribute to effective organizations and beneficial community change.
This program is only offered during the spring semester.
