We Develop Leaders. Leaders Build Community.

The Leadership Saskatoon Program has been called life-changing by many of our graduates. It's a full immersion into your personal development as a leader, and you won't look at yourself or our community in the same way afterwards.

You will:

• Engage in over 93 hours of immersive leadership training delivered by a team of highly skilled facilitators and coaches.
• Learn with a diverse cohort of leaders from across the community and join an alumni network of over 500 graduates.
• Be matched with a community leader who will serve as your mentor during the program.
• Put your leadership learning into practice by participating on a "learning team" to explore a community issue you are passionate about.
• Receive a certificate of participation from Leadership Saskatoon and University of Saskatchewan upon completion on the program.

Leadership can be learned. Our redesigned curriculum focuses on skills you can apply right away. Are you ready for the challenge? Explore the 2020-2021 Program Overview & Dates.
