Leadership Lab
We believe our region needs strong and healthy communities with a thriving and consistent base of skilled local leaders who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC) driving resident-led innovations for and by their own communities.
Leadership Lab is a 5 month leadership development program that invests in the capacity, sustainability, and ultimate impact of a cohort of local leaders who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color driving social justice and/or racial equity solutions in their communities.
This in-person program includes skills training labs, one-on-one coaching, site visits to neighborhoods you serve, access to decision-makers, and wellness support.
As a region, South Florida faces many serious issues from income inequality and housing affordability to the increasing impact of climate change and unequal access to education.
The result is a region with shocking economic disparity that affects our Black and Brown communities at a disproportionate rate.
We believe that investing in BIPOC leaders of color is essential to the development of their communities due to their lived experiences and their intimate connections to making a change. Their connection gives them the ability to devise and implement more effective solutions due to their deep understanding of complex problems in their communities.
Therefore Leadership Lab cohort 5 is designed for local leaders who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC) driving resident-led innovations for and by their own communities.

“There are people doing the heavy lifting, building incredible bonds with their community, and having serious impact. They often don’t have the networks, platforms, or resources to pull off the transformational impact they’re capable of. They help so many in their neighborhoods, and we must support them.”
Through skills training labs, coaching, mentorship, and wellness sessions, we’ll invest in your leadership focusing on skill development in FIVE main elements:
PLUS:
FOUR to FIVE 1:1 Coaching Sessions to help you tackle key questions that come up during the labs and tailor your leadership development to your personal needs.
SIX Wellness and Mindfulness Sessions that complement our curriculum dedicated to investing in your well-being.
Access to key community stakeholders.
Access to powerful community mentors and our alumni network of 140+ change makers upon completion of the program
