Do you want to create positive change in our community but feel that you don't know where to start or feel your leadership skills aren't strong enough.
Leadership Training for Older Persons can help you again the skills and talents you need to have a strong and clear voice in our community. We will teach you the practical, hands-ons on leadership skills you need to meet your leadership goals from sitting on a board or committee, speaking to City Council to starting your own community project.
What will I Learn?
During this 7 week program you will learn to develop practical, hands-on skills in leadership taught by Asheville Area Community Leaders. Classes are supportive to all levels of Leadership. There is no need to be intimidated in our classes, we all have something to learn from each other.
Who Should Take This Program?
If you are currently a volunteer and want to take on a more active role or just thinking of starting to be active in our community this course will help you meet your goals.
We especially encourage groups to participate (such as Places of Worship or Non-Profits). LTOP can help your groups gain the skills and momentum you need to complete projects for your organization. Think of LTOP as a leadership program for your organization.
