THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR MANAGERS AND EXECUTIVES SERVING TRANSITION-AGE YOUTH
This leadership program was developed in 2005 by CompassPoint with funding from The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF) to address the changing needs of leadership professionals serving transition-age youth (TAY).
To date, this program has served over ninety transition-age youth professionals throughout the state of California.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
A cohort of 12 leaders meets over a period of 12 months to learn together through in-person gatherings, webinars, a 360-degree leadership assessment process, peer coaching, and networking opportunities with other transition-age-youth-serving professionals.
Through the course of the program, participants experience the following:
- They increase their self-awareness around their personal leadership stance and practices.
- They create a personal leadership development plan and receive support from faculty and each other to reach their goals.
- They draw strength and support from their peers.
- They explore and strategize around leadership challenges specific to working in the transition-age-youth field.
- They learn coaching skills to help themselves and others move forward to new solutions.
- They build connections and relationships to support a growing and sustainable network in the California transition-age-youth field.
