The YOUnify Leaders program is a year-long program engaging existing leaders from multiple sectors and generations in developing their individual and collective capacities to lead us into a more resilient, unified and equitable world. The program takes a multigenerational approach, marrying next generation creativity and innovation with support from seasoned people. We seek to develop deep and lasting relationships among participants and take their leadership to the next level by developing a networked community of “cross-trainers” who are able to use their leadership skills and unique types of power to manifest their values as transformative change in the world. The leaders program exists as part of the larger YOUnify movement which includes a place-based grassroots program. By including these two elements in our broader movement we are able to align those with their hands on the levers of power with the grassroots both strategically and tactically in order to accelerate progress on the most pressing challenges of our time. 

Time commitment:

• 3 hours onboarding programming
