Graduates Say
Jason West
Development Manager, Youth Villages
“Leadership Triangle’s Regional program not only deepened my commitment to our community, but gave me a holistic understanding of how the strengths and opportunities within this region intersect and feed each other. As a nonprofit leader and a dad who wants to see my daughters – the next generation of leaders and achievers! – invested in their community, there’s no other program that has better equipped, challenged, or inspired me.”

Our Programs
TRANSFORMING LEADERS
Leadership Triangle’s Transforming Leaders Program is a masters level course in leadership development, delivered within a cohort-based model. The program is designed to meet participants in their own lived experience and help them co-create a leadership framework that works for them – based on power literacy, authenticity, personal values, and desired impact.
The 2022 Transforming Leaders schedule is below. We will meet in person for some sessions, and for others, we will meet virtually. In-person class sessions are typically a full day, while virtual sessions will be half-days.

REGIONAL PROGRAM
The Triangle grows by 70+ people every single day. It’s ever-changing, and we need community leaders who understand the Regional context today and are committed to shaping an equitable future tomorrow. Leadership Triangle’s Regional Program is designed with this goal in mind. Over the course of 4 months, this program develops leadership skills while connecting participants to other key leaders and issues that face the Region as a whole.
As an example, in early 2022 participants met bi-weekly over four months in different locations in the Triangle. One class involved a deep dive into the social, economic and environmental trends for the region as a whole. We’ve experienced a full day onsite at Healing Transitions, and a day exploring the Future of the Workforce in Chatham County. In Research Triangle Park, the class met with community leaders working at the intersection of anti-racism and anti-poverty, and explored ways to create additional collaborative, multi-issue partnerships. The 2023 schedule is below.
