Leading a cause and solving complex issues takes determination, discipline, and know-how. Nonprofits First, Palm Beach County’s expert resource for nonprofit performance, created the Rising Leaders program in 2005 to launch aspiring leaders toward their highest level of impact and success. Rising Leaders is the only local training of its kind, transforming emerging talent into the sector’s next generation of leaders. The comprehensive six-month experience focuses on skills needed by those who are relatively new to leading teams or managing groups of individuals. Rising Leaders participants learn effective strategies to handle significant leadership and organizational challenges. The Rising Leaders experience fosters interaction, discovery, dialogue, and servant leadership as participants increase skills to lead in the nonprofit field.
