NC CAP Leadership Institute

Do you ever wonder how to advocate for your program in your community, reaching out to businesses, elected officials, and community leaders?  Do you ever wish you had a network of peers with whom you could brainstorm challenges and work collectively to advance afterschool programming in your community?  Do you need CEUs (Continuing Education Units) for your career?  If so, the Leadership Institute is for you! 
     NC CAP is partnering with NC State University to conduct a year-long fellowship for afterschool providers, including directors, site coordinators, front-line staff, and administrators.  Sign up to be part of a network of your peers, develop leadership skills, and learn how to advocate for your afterschool program.  The requirement includes participation at SYNERGY, as well as participation in webinars throughout the year, and an at-home project over the course of the year. 
     The 2012 NC CAP Leadership Institute cohort will begin their classes during the SYNERGY Conference (April 15th – 18th, 2012, in Charlotte, NC). During the conference, participants will take part in 16 hours of dedicated program development seminars and workshops with one additional take-home assignment – a professional portfolio (approximately 30 hours of work is expected to be completed re: the portfolio by December 2012).  4.6 CEUs will be given to participants who complete the entire program. CEUs will be issued through the McKimmon Center, NC State University. 
     Complete the application packet and submit a writing sample and at least one (1) letter of recommendation from a current supervisor.  Click here for more information and the application for the Leadership Institute.
