Resource Genesee runs two leadership programs, Leadership Genesee for adults and Youth Leadership Genesee for teens.
"Everything rises and falls on leadership." Look around you and see how true that is.
Resource Genesee’s leadership programs are designed to develop leaders who want to engage their community and make a difference. Even if you don't consider yourself a "leader," your passion to make a difference in any area of our community reveals the emerging leader within you!
“Because of the Leadership Genesee training, I now see myself not only as a participant for positive change but a visionary who will stand up to demand positive change for Flint and Genesee County.”
Denise Yarbrough, Flint NIPP
Participants meet for one full day each month, in different locations and with various community leaders in education, government, business, and the nonprofit sectors. The program moves participants from “head to heart to feet,” making a commitment to be part of the solution to challenges facing the community.
The program brings together professionals from throughout Genesee County for an in-depth look at personal, professional, and community leadership issues.
Leadership Genesee is already underway for the 2009-2010 season. But for future reference, tuition for Leadership Genesee 2009-2010 is $1,100 if a commitment to participate and $200 deposit is received by an early deadline. It covers all program costs and materials, including meals during day long and service project sessions. A deposit of $200 is required with this application and upon acceptance to the program will be applied to the tuition (if you are not accepted, the deposit will be refunded). Tuition must be paid in full before the start date of the program. A payment plan is available providing balance is paid in full by the start of the program. Many employers are willing to make this investment on behalf of their employees. See if your employer is one of them!
This year 10 grassroots leaders were chosen to participate in Leadership Genesee on scholarships provided by the Ruth Mott Foundation . Many thanks to Ruth Mott for this investment in the community!
