Women’s Leadership Program

The Women’s Leadership Program is designed to help women discover and develop the qualities and skills that they need to be effective leaders in the workplace and in the community. This eight week program, open to fifty women each year, challenges women to examine, not only their skills, but their attitudes about themselves and their willingness to accept the challenges and risks that come with leadership.

Here’s what graduates of the 2007 YWCA Leadership Program had to say about the 8-week program:

“Best use of my time, better than any other program! Excellent! Outstanding! Awesome!”

“This program is such a positive experience and so valuable for women working in leadership roles-or aspiring to.”

“The whole program was extremely well organized and enjoyable, great topics, the 8 weeks flew by.

”I thought the program was great and surpassed my expectations, all of the topics were very relevant to work and my personal life.”

The Women’s Leadership Program will begin in March 2008. The deadline to apply for the 2009 program is January 31, 2009. Click Here for the 2008 Brochure and Registration form. Call the YWCA for information at 520-884-7810 or email us.
