Join us for this new peer-based learning opportunity! This cohort is designed to support rural nonprofits in building your capacity to lead change and adapt to change – enabling your organization to stay relevant and fulfill your mission over the long haul. The cohort will convene leadership teams from 8-12 organizations over six months for a rich learning partnership where you will build your capacity and apply new tools within your organization and community – all with the support of peers.
Participants will build skills and capabilities to:
- See Systematic Change
- Build Broad Organizational Leadership

- Clarify Your Distinctive Value
- Strengthen Innovation
Support & Stipend!
Each participating organization will receive:
- A stipend of $250 per organization in recognition of the commitment.
