"Educating Leaders, Strengthening Community"
Since 2000, Leadership Saskatoon has been bringing together leaders and potential leaders in a unique and dynamic ten month learning experience that offers the opportunity to expand their knowledge and practice of leadership. By using the community as a classroom, the program develops personal, organizational and community leadership capacities in a “hands-on” format.
Upon successful completion, participants obtain a Certificate from the University of Saskatchewan. Leadership Saskatoon is based on the successful community leadership model used in over 1,600 communities around the world. Twenty-two similar programs exist across Canada, and form the Canadian Community Leadership Network (CCL).
Our mission is to develop effective collaborative leaders by building awareness and understanding which inspires involvement in building an inclusive community.
Leadership Saskatoon is a
not-for-profit organization operated by a
volunteer
Board of Directors. Founding partners include the Saskatoon &
District Chamber
of Commerce, Saskatoon Community Foundation, and the University of
Saskatchewan.
